Los Lonely Boys from San Angelo,

I had this as a draft forever and since I  like the band I decided to publish it.

Origin: San Angelo, TX

Decades: 2000's

The Tex-Mex rock group Los Lonely Boys hail from San Angelo, TX, and consist of three brothers, guitarist Henry Garza, bassist JoJo Garza, and drummer Ringo Garza, Jr. Their father, Ringo Garza, Sr., also was a member of a band made up of his brothers, the Falcones, who played conjunto music around Texas in the '70s and '80s. After that group broke up, Garza went solo, backed by his three sons even before they reached their teens. The family relocated to Nashville in the 1990s, and gradually the sons emerged as a group separate from their father. They moved back to Texas, and in 2003, their debut album, Los Lonely Boys, was recorded at Willie Nelson's Pedernales recording studio in Austin with Nelson sitting in; the album was issued by Or Music, and earned national attention. Epic Records picked the album up for major-label distribution in March 2004, resulting in a Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal the following year. The Boys released their eagerly awaited sophomore album, Sacred, in 2006. Forgiven followed in 2008. ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide

Did You Play With Kenneth "Dusty" Nall/Bruce,Miss.

Dusty Nail

This is a post from  Facebook, This young lady is trying to find musicians that played with here father.

Karen Nall

Hello Pedal Steel players. I am new to this group. I do not play the pedal steel but have had the wonderful sounds of the steel guitar in my life as my father played all his life since he was a little boy. I have a deep appreciation for pedal steel players and the beautiful way they can make the instrument speak to people. My father passed away 2 years ago and I made it my mission in life to "keep his music and legacy alive." I hope to continue to meet people whom my Dad may have met, played with, or known and who may have touched his life. I wonder if by chance anyone in this group may have known him. His name is Kenneth "Dusty" Nall. He was originally from Bruce, Mississippi and moved to Joliet, Illinois. I would love to hear from anyone who may have known him and could share your story with me. Thank you for taking the time to read this and "Keep on pick'n and grin'n!" Karen Nall

Elect Gene Watson to the Country Music Hall of Fame

Election to the Country Music Hall of Fame is the highest honor in country music. The award recognizes persons who have made outstanding contributions to country music over the lengths of their careers.

The Country Music Hall of Fame honors performers, musicians, songwriters, promoters, music publishing, broadcasters & others in the music industry, reflecting country music’s stature as both art and enterprise.

The first Country Music Hall of Fame members - Jimmie Rodgers, Fred Rose & Hank Williams - were elected in 1961. Hall of Fame plaques were displayed at the Tennessee State Museum in Nashville, Tennessee until 1967, when the original Country Music Hall of Fame & Museum building opened on Music Row in Nashville.

The plaques are now housed in the new Country Music Hall of Fame & Museum facility, which opened in May 2001 in Nashville.

Gene Watson is not a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame, nor has he ever been nominated to receive such a prestigious honor.

If you feel that Gene Watson should be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame, then please join the 'Elect Gene Watson to the Country Music Hall of Fame' group & help achieve our goal.
