Back
when Jerry Jeff Walker was living in in Los Angeles,
about
the time he did Guy Clark's "L.A. Freeway," somebody
asked
him when he was thinking of leaving L.A. if he was
going
back to Texas? Jerry Jeff said, "No, think I will
move
back to Austin." The StudioClub is proud to open
the
Austin, Texas page with our old friend Gary P. Nunn
and
a few other buddies of West Productions. We have
some
great roots in that town, and I think that you
will
enjoy to slant we bring you on |

Gary P.
Nunn was designated Official Ambassador to the World
by
Texas Governor Mark White in 1985, who proposed that the
song
"London Homesick Blues" a.k.a. "Home with the Armadillo"
become
the Official State Song of Texas! The tune, written while
stranded
and broke in London in 1973, and recorded "live" at
Luckenbach,
TX., first appeared on "Viva Terlingua" the million
selling
LP by Jerry Jeff Walker that was described as the
"quintessential
progressive country record" by Time magazine. It
was
chosen by Austin City Limits, the popular PBS country music
series,
as its theme song. It has become a classic and has
entered
into the Texas folklore along with "San Antonio Rose,"
"The
Yellow Rose of Texas" and "Waltz Across Texas," according
to
the Texas Book of Lists. In the meantime, "What I Like About
Texas,"
another Gary P. Nunn composition, commissioned
originally
by the Lone Star Brewery for an advertising campaign,
has
caught up with it in popularity among texophiles worldwide.
Gary
P. Nunn is indeed an official ambassador for Texas music
to
the world! Visit the Jeepster at: GaryPNunn.com

Jerry
Jeff Walker: Gypsy Songman,
Jerry
Jeff's autobiography is out
"Jerry
Jeff has bounced in and out of my life
like
the Mad Hatter on the way to the tea party.
On
some of our misadventures there were
people
we encountered who surely would
have
been justified in having both our heads.
I
am glad we lived through it, and now Jerry
Jeff's
fans can read - at a safe distance - the
tales
of the gypsy song man."
