Coming through spring and heading full steam into summer has been an interesting time for those of us in much of North Texas. May was delightfully cooler and encouraged us all with a most interesting abundance of rain. There is nothing better than heading into the coming heat of June and fully into the summer with cattle grazing on pastures belly deep in grass, tanks full and with a general sigh of relief that maybe, just maybe, the world is catching a collective breath and beginning to move gently forward.

Most folks I have visited with have a sense we are seeing a bit of normalcy again. It is also a sense of renewal and growth, be it the calves with their mommas, the bloom of wildflowers, the bounty of gardens, or the actual celebration of families getting together. My husband and I both grew up in rural settings, so celebrating Mother’s Day and Father’s Day always came with get togethers of friends, family and of course, good home style cooking. The backstory for me personally was there were not a lot of places where we could go out for “fine dining” without what amounted to a 160-mile round trip.

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.
