I never managed to meet Tex. I remember hearing his name around the scene--Winnipeg Fest in '70 maybe. But reading these tales makes me really wish I'd known the man-----like I wish I'd known Jack Kerouac and Cisco---Dylan Thomas, Aunt Molly Jackson, Haywire Mac McClintoc, Billie Holiday & Charlie Parker. Gracias to all here who let me partake vicariously of the wonder that it must've been to hang out with and learn from Tex.
