HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
	WHEREAS, For more than three decades, journalist and 
folksinger Allen Martin has been a mainstay on the Texas music 
scene; and
	WHEREAS, After arriving in Austin from Kentucky in the 1960s, 
Mr. Martin made friends with such Lone Star legends as Willie 
Nelson, Jerry Jeff Walker, Rusty Wier, Allen Damron, Kenneth 
Threadgill, and Gary Nunn and played at favorite Austin venues, 
including the Split Rail, Castle Creek, Saxon Pub, and the 
Armadillo; and
	WHEREAS, Beginning in the 1970s, this multitalented 
individual focused his talent and energy on a career in radio and 
television, but he continued to make time to perform; and
	WHEREAS, Mr. Martin's current plans include curtailing much 
of his radio duties to devote his energies to playing music, which 
will take him on the road to Florida and the Eastern seaboard over 
the coming weeks; and
	WHEREAS, During his many years in Texas, Mr. Martin has 
shared his enduring love of music with his fellow Texans both as a 
performer and through his work in radio and television, and when 
traveling in other states with his band he will be an ideal music 
ambassador for the State of Texas; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the 78th Legislature of the State of Texas, 
3rd Called Session, hereby commend Allen Martin for his varied and 
long-standing contributions to Texas music and extend to him 
sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for Mr. Martin as an expression of high regard by the Texas 
House of Representatives and Senate.

                                                                         Gallego
