Here in Texas, where I ply my TropRock tuneage, we have what we refer to as Texas Music. It, too, covers many genres. Bottom line is...if is written and/or performed in Texas, by Texans...is about Texans or Texas places or culture, it is considered to be Texas Music, regardless of actual genre. It could be country, rock, folk, blues, hip-hop, rhythm & blues; any combination of the above, you name it... it could fall into the vast realm of Texas Music. We even have our own variety of Gulf Coast style TropRock here, written by some incredibly talented folks like Jerry Diaz, Kelly McGuire, Dennis Davis, Troy Allan, Don Burke, Larry Joe Taylor, Kelly Brown and Tropical Denny. Sunny Jim, Eric Stone and Ron Bertrand -to name a few - started out here, too...then there also are folks like Joe Bennett who have migrated to our Gulf Coast shores to ply their trades. I'm thinkin' that this just the beginning of the ground swell of what we know as TropRock! Keep up the good work...continue to spread the word and preach the gospel!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16068460466779265839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5810747883557401990.post-78369460443854690482010-02-27T10:16:55.326-08:002010-02-27T10:16:55.326-08:00If you're in Key West, be sure to see Lenore T...If you're in Key West, be sure to see Lenore Troia play.
