Texas Homesick Blues?

Nice to see all the coverage about Texas songs and all the greatest songs about Texas and song titles with Texas in them. However, if these were actually the all-time greats, how could you have released this list without placing Gary P. Nunn's "What I Like About Texas" on this list? And "Texas Flood" is by Larry Rice of Houston by the way, not SRV. If Nunn's Texas anthem has been good enough to pass as the theme song for Austin City Limits for three decades (you know the festival by the same name that doesn't even invite Nunn to open and close the festival with the program's theme song), then it should certainly be good enough to have made your rag's list. Oh well, Austin music biz as usual ...

   [Editorial Reply: The ACL theme is titled "London Homesick Blues," and as such doesn't have Texas in the title. "Texas Flood" is credited to Arkansas-bred Larry Davis, not Larry Rice, and Davis is duly noted. Since we're on the subject, however, the original Duke 45 that's pictured in our "rag's" endeavor lists Joseph Scott and label owner Don Robey as songwriters. Finally, as noted, the choices were made by about 25 different folks and not by the Chronicle.]
