Howdy, y'all! My wife and I recently moved to the great state of Texas, and wouldn't you know it, today, March 1st, marks the start of Texas History Month!

To celebrate, I'm kicking things off with a Texas classic: "Luckenbach, Texas (Back to the Basics of Love)", written by Chips Moman and Bobby Emmons, and originally sung by the legendary Waylon Jennings with Willie Nelson. I learned this song on stage in Ennis, TX while being shamed by Bubba Hernandez and Michael "El Chavalon" Morris for not knowing it many years ago. Since then, it has become one of my favorite love songs of all time. The lyric is so real, and the melody perfectly complements it. It was particularly special for me to perform this song on stage in Luckenbach at a "Live, Free and Fly" 4th of July Celebration a few years ago.

Throughout the month, I'll be sharing more iconic Texas tunes. So, y'all sit back, relax, and get ready to experience a musical taste of the Lone Star State! Hope you enjoy the ride!
