HOWDY FOLKS,
That's what Big Tex says. Our mascot standing in western style at the grand circle of our great State Fair.
We have just enjoyed three wonderful weeks of the fair. Also, the heat has subsided and the outdoor festivals are abound.
Thanks to Bobby Montgomery and volunteers Allen Larsen, Keith Dobson, Jamey Shannon, and Wayne Willingham the DSA had a presence at the Amigos International Guitar Show in Arlington.

DSA Hall of Fame Inductee John Ford Coley cruised down from Franklin to Greenville and performed twice this fall at the Texan Theater. DSA players were a part of the show. The Texan is a beautiful venue.
