On the Road with Dave Alexander

Howdy Texas Music Fans! Anyone who loves country music loves Randy Travis. This Country Music Hall of Famer has had an incredible career, racking up the gold, or should I say, multi-platinum albums, (selling over 25 million to be exact) with his fabulous voice, singing and song writing skills.

Randy has recorded over 20 studio albums and of his 50 singles, 22 have topped the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart at No. 1. Let’s reminisce just a bit. How about songs like “Forever and Ever, Amen,” “I Told You So,” or my favorite, “On the Other Hand” oh, and of course “Too Gone for Too Long,” just to mention a few. These classics have become anthems to country music fans around the world.

I first met Randy and had the opportunity to work with him in the early 90s at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo where he rocked the house and broke records every time he came to town. And, as fate would have it, we have crossed paths again after some 20 or so years and rekindled our friendship.

Seems lately these days Texas is becoming the envy of musicians from around the world.
With the overwhelming response to “Yellowstone,” the television series, Texas once again finds itself under the microscope of the world, much like the late 1980’s TV series know to all around the globe as “Dallas.”

With that said, the musician population in Texas is beginning to grow as many aspiring performers turn their sights on Texas instead of Nashville. Meet my newly-found friend and fellow musician Grace Partridge. This youthful 19 year old has recently made Texas her new home. She began fiddling at age four in Rigby, Idaho. Grace worked her way through the National Fiddle championships in Weiser, Idaho, becoming a five-time national champion. She’s even played on the Grand Ole Opry. Still yet, her desire to become a true Texas Fiddler has brought her to the Lone Star State. I’m pretty sure we can thank Bob Wills for that.
