He was Augie Garcia. He looks great in crop art. He was Mexcian-American. Cornbread Harris and Prince’s father played on his one hit. He was booted off the stage after opening for Elvis becaue “”Colonel Parker was afraid that Elvis would be outplayed by a bunch of locals.”
What local legends do you think go sadly unrecognized?

I’m not really sure, Max, but I can certainly name a few that get TOO MUCH recognition. Let us begin with Curtis A.

He’s hardly unrecognized, but I’ve never understood how Willie Wisely isn’t a star. Good-looking guy, nice voice, great songs….what’s missing?
