Famous Entertainers of Navasota.

A couple of weeks ago at the Two Rivers Heritage Foundation History Mixer we talked about all the famous musicians from Grimes County and the surrounding area. The list of recording artists was so long it took all the hour just to do them justice. We introduced Blind Willie Johnson, Joe Tex, Texas Alexander, Jerry Jericho, and Big Lu and Los Muchachos and even played their records. We never had the time to bring up blues performers like Mance Lipscomb, Milt Larkin, or L. C. Williams.

This week we will introduce the rest of the entertainers who once called Navasota home. And with any luck with technology, we will let them speak for themselves...
