Deep in the heart of Texas is a man named Mr Tracy Pitcox who spearheads a Texas Music community called Heart Of Texas Records. You sometimes hear me metion their performers in my articles, like this spring where I watched Mr Justin Trevino take home an Ameripolitan Award.

He runs a beautiful museum out there, that I have yet to see but it is definitely high up on my bucket list for the near future. Every year they host a week long festival featuring a huge list of great Texas Traditional Country music, and every year I featureh whatthey do.
