I'm reading a book about the history of "Texas" by author James A Michener.What attracted me to the book is because of my grandma "Eugenia Royal" who reigned from 'Texas" & my love & passion for blues.Texas has a very rich history.It has been faught to sanctify the land by many different cultures of people such as the spanish,french,the apache native indians,etc.Don Ramon Saldana the "father" of the Saladana's family decide to settle in Texas and two of his son's Fray Damian and Fray Domingo end up getting killed from the native indians also known as the "Karankawa" doing what they believed in.Don Ramon has a daughter named "Trinidad" and is determined to find a pure spaniard for her to marry.It's a long frusterating process both for him and her.Later in the book Don Ramon ends up having a duel with an americano living up to his reputation and honor and dies because of it.It's fascinating and is stirring my curiousity.I want to know and see the birth place of the blues because of how greatly influenced I am by the music.Blues music is about honesty in every shape and form, whether your ideas come from alocohol,drugs,etc it all shares the same divine message
