It has been quite a ride for three musicians out of Central Texas. As of 12-18-06 the song "So Long, Texas-Hello, Mexico" has spread across the nation much to the delight of thousands of fans. We have had over 100,000 visitors to our website since Sept. 16th. Mike, Rita and I have enjoyed the ride immensely. What began in July as a musical venture for three old musical friends has far surpassed our wildest dreams !

Rita and I have been interviewed on CBS, NBC and ABC affiliates in Waco. KTVT Ch. 11 in Dallas-Fort Worth taped a Johnny Tex and the Texicans dance and interview that was broadcast on Oct. 10th. Later that night the CBS Overnight News broadcast the story worldwide. The Daily Show with Jon Stewart made mention of the song. I have been interviewed on such notable radio talk shows as the Kevin Wall Show on WLAC in Nashville, Ernie and Ray on KRLD in Dallas and the Lynn Wooley Show and the Lars Larsen Show. The Waco Tribune Herald has done two feature stories and we were on the front page of the San Antonio Express on Sept. 20th. CNN's Lou Dobbs added a link on 9-14-06 about the song and it's still there! We especially thank the Texas Minutemen and ALIPAC for their help in getting word spread around Texas and the nation.

The recent inclusion of our song on the nationally distributed November CDX compilation to over 1,000 radio stations in the U.S. was greatly appreciated. While it is difficult to know exactly how many stations are playing the song, we estimate that "So Long, Texas-Hello, Mexico" is being played in nearly half the states in the nation and 3 or 4 foreign countries.
We thank all the good folks who have supported us and bought our song. We are working on the album "Life's Too Short Not To Live in Texas"and expect to have it available in a couple of months.

Watch this site for information on the album and other Johnny Tex and the Texicans merchandise. Thank you for your support from deep in the Heart of Texas,
Johnny Tex
