IN DEFENSE OF KATHERINE DAWN AND THE TEXAS LADYBUGS

I would like to thank Radio Free Texas for having Ginger Pickett on the radio at the present time. I also want to remind Radio Free Texas that the TX LadyBugs are one of the greatest institutions of Texas.

Katherine Dawn is one of the founders of the TX LadyBugs and she is one of the First Ladies of Texas and Americana Music. Her music has been heard around the world and people know her music.

I had the honor of hearing Katherine Dawn’s music when I lived in Venezuela in the late 1970’s. One of my classmates [her dad was a preacher and my dad worked for Firestone] from the American School in Venezuela [from Oklahoma] played a cassette of her music.

I was thrilled to hear Katherine Dawn sing with a clear and down to earth voice. Katherine Dawn’s voice and music was superior to whatever singer that was present.

In the early 1980’s, I was in my native Ohio at a Texas Restuarant. I heard [again] Katherine Dawn interpret her music as background music. Again, I was impressed.

When I was in the Dominican Republic, I heard a friend play Katherine Dawn’s music. At that time, I was not feeling well, Katherine Dawn’s music restored me to health.

The year 2011 finds me in Florida with problems that have left me with fear, anguish, sadness, and questioning life.

The music of Katherine Dawn and the TX LadyBugs [especially Katherine Dawn] has given me a new leash on life and restored my faith in Jesus and life.

I hope you understand this especially when Katherine Dawn and the TX LadyBugs symbolize all that is good in Texas and America which is God, Family, and Country.

My best wishes to you this Christmas season and always. LONG LIVE KATHERINE DAWN AND THE TX LADYBUGS.
