Speaking of steel guitar...
I recently came across this great old photo of Doug Sahm
who folks my age will remember from The Sir Douglas Quintet or possibly from the Texas Tornadoes though in fact he was some kind of a musical prodigy a lot further back as he was sharing the stage with the likes of Hank Williams way back in 1952 and was already something of a Texas musical legend at the age of eleven.I sort of rediscovered Doug when he and Freddie Fender
got together with Augie Meyers and Flaco Jimenez to form the Texas Tornadoes, something of a Tex-Mex super group if you will!Sadly, Doug Sahm passed away back in 1999 but luckily left a whole lot of great music in his wake... There is also a biography that is coming out I have been looking forward to which might be of interest...
