Here's a bonus episode for you. Back in the day I did a podcast with my cousins, Dave and Steve, called 2BT. Two Bald Texans-Two Bearded Texans-Two (whatever word you want to use) Texans, and so on. Technically we still do it. It's just on a very extended hiatus and it is one of the things that gave me the confidence to do Texas History Lessons. This episode is special because we talk about one of our favorite Texas bands--Pantera. So check it out. More Texas history coming soon.
