Texas is larger-than-life legends like Michael DeBakey, Ann Richards, Denton Cooley, Willie Nelson, Buddy Holly, Gene Autry, Audie Murphy, Tommy Lee Jones, Waylon Jennings, Farrah Fawcet, Janis Joplin, Sandra Bullock, Kris Kristofferson, Tom Landry, Eva Longoria, Darrell Royal, ZZ Top, Eric Dickerson, Earl Campbell, Nolan Ryan, Sam Rayburn, Howard Hughes, George H.. W. Bush, Lyndon B. Johnson, and let's not forget GEORGE STRAIT- PANTERA, the Big Bopper, Tex Ritter, George Jones, Clay Walker, Mark Chestnut, to name ONLY a few..

Gosh Hugh, after reading all that a Virginian like me is left kinda speechless. All Virginians have to look back on are the likes of:

George Rogers Clark, Patrick Henry, "Lighthorse Harry" Lee, George Mason, Richard Henry Lee, John Marshall, Winfield Scott, Jubal Early, A.P.Hill, Stonewall Jackson, Fitzhugh Lee, Robert E. Lee, John Mosby, J.E.B. Stuart, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, William Henry Harrison, John Tyler, Zachary Taylor and a few artists like Edgar Allen Poe, Kate Smith, Patsy Cline, Pearl Bailey, and Ella Fitzgerald.

It sort of leaves us with a feeling of inadequacy when compared to the likes of Ann Richards.
