|
|

|
|
WHEREAS, The birthplace of Texas country, Tejano, and other |
|
|
distinctive styles, the Lone Star State has a history of producing |
|
|
music in a vast range of genres, and such talented artists as |
|
|

|
|
Nelson have all called Texas home; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, To serve the state's vibrant music community, the |
|
|
Recording Academy, the organization responsible for the Grammy |
|
|

|
|
WHEREAS, An integral part of the Texas economy, the music |

|
|
each year, live music festivals generate hundreds of millions of |
|
|
dollars in economic activity; as a reflection of its support for |
|
|
this important commercial sector, the Texas Legislature created the |
|

|
|
furthering an exceptional legacy of artistic achievement, and in so |

|
|
economy of Texas; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas |
