After moving back to South Central Texas, the first thing I did was to try and find local music options.

I was lucky to discover Texas Music Radio, FM98.7 out of Victoria. It reminded me of KGSR in Austin, only playing a larger percentage of Texas performers - a lot of which you don't hear in Austin, like Roger Creager, Smokey Wilson, Cross Canadain Ragweed and the Drive-by Truckers. When this station went off the air it left a real hole in the airways. There is nothing else like it around. I also went out to Smokey Wilson's fall Party in the Pasture. I met some nice folks there, including John Reeves and Mack and Bea McKinney. John is a picker that wants to change how live music is heard in the area.
