Two of Texas’s greatest contributions to the world of music were born on the exact same day, November 6, in the exact same year, 1941. Guy Clark in Monahans and Doug Sahm in San Antonio. How about that?

As true today as when JKC recorded it in 1984.
As a former factchecker, I will say that such corrections are the absolute greatest. It's not everyone who can raise the dead, after all. Long live the fact departments!
In hindsight, all the problems started when we moved away from hand-written library catalog cards.
The great Pat Sharpe has broken retirement to pen this mouthwatering note on Austin's world-famous purveyor of migas perfecto (and more), Cisco's Restaurant, Bakery & Bar, which turns 75 this year.

Today is Waco-born comedic genius Steve Martin's 80th birthday. In his honor, what say we all take a minute (and forty-five seconds) to enjoy just a bit of his sidesplitting virtuosity? Here, from "The Jerk," please enjoy the memorable sleeping scene.
