Anyway. My favorite Kennerly track is this version of "Cry Myself to Sleep" Wynonna and Trisha Yearwood sang the everliving fuck out of on the Judds tribute album a couple of years ago: www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3IN...

A cowgirl walks a cattle pen fence wearing the fanciest boots I think I've ever seen as another cowgirl applauds and four USAAF personnel look on, wondering if she's going to make it or not. This was taken on the Welder ranch in Victoria county in 1942 by the famed Dmitri Kessel.

Gonna have to say it...

I'm heading to C2C in London this weekend and I couldn't be less excited. The lineup is TERRIBLE.

I'm not even going on the Saturday, first day missed in over ten years.

Compounded by Meg McRee and Aaron Raitiere not being there now either.

That sucks.

See you there...

Traces of Texas reader Gary Wood was nice enough to forward this amazing photo of 14 month old Jean Ann Evans napping on the saddle horn of a horse with her mother Billie Anne Evans on the set of the film "Giant" in Marfa. It was taken in July, 1955.

Thank you, Gary. Awesome shot!

Traces of Texas reader Seth is Writing was nice enough to send in this rather self-explanatory photo, taken in Graham, Texas back in 1978. Seth's grandfather, Garth, is standing closest to the horse and was its owner. I didn't even know Graham had a track.

Thank you, Seth. Really awesome!

Another great Augie Meyers performance. The rhyming of "dinero" with "Camaro" is sublime. The sound of pure joy.

A view of Avenue A in Temple, Texas in July, 1907. Temple was only 26 years old at this time, having been founded in 1881. I am just about 100% positive that the buildings on the right still stand.
