[edit] West Texas Music Hall of Fame
For the time being, I am removing the following: "The West Texas Music Hall of Fame and Museum is located in Abilene, Texas." Though I found that information on the internet, I have confirmed through its President that a museum building has not yet been contructed. Memorabilia and such items are currently loaned to exhibit at other museums, and at present the items are on loan at the New Braunfels Art & Music Museum in Gruene, Tx until July 2004. When a museum is built, we can add it back.
[edit] The Plugz
The Plugz weren't formed in El Paso, but instead in Los Angeles, California. The reference has therefore been removed from this article. jareha 09:55, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Dallas starts post-bands music
The article suggests that Dallas is conservative when it comes to new music. Not so. Dallas has started the first new music since the British music invasion of rock bands in 1964. Dallas has recently started post-bands music - more soulful, less corporate, no electric instruments, wider range of styles, melody is important again, lyrics make sense, different types of venues for concerts, etc. etc. Ex. Box office concerts from the Dallas Inwood Theater on a standard Silvertone guitar by me, Tom Hendricks. It's a very back to basics style of music. And it's the first big change in music in 40 years.

[edit] Article removed from Wikipedia:Good articles
This article was formerly listed as a good article, but was removed from the listing because not comprehensive, badly organized
[edit] Rap
I think there should be something about rap and all the hype anout the Houston being the rap capitol of the south, there are so many rapper from texas and there chopped and screwed music.
[edit] Los Lonely Boys
Need to add Los Lonely Boys to either Tejano or perhaps Austin. They are more well known then most of the more obscure bands listed in the Austin section. --ProdigySportsman 00:11, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Blue October and Bowlling for Soup
Both Blue October and Bowlling for Soup need to be added to Alternative Rock section, which is severely lacking. --ProdigySportsman 00:13, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
