Ok, so let me get this right. I always thought that Austin Texas was home of the blues in Texas. The blues certainly played a big part in making Austin the capital of live music, and as I recall Austin City Limits was mostly a blues show in the old days. I also think that perhaps Dallas at one time could claim the title as home of the blues in Texas, but this?????

Two years ago, the Texas Legislature designated Navasota as the Blues Capital of Texas.

HUH?????????? This comes from the Eagle.com.

The rest of the story from Eagle.com follows:

The Grimes County town hosts the annual Navasota Blues Festival, but will now have a year-round presence with the opening of the Navasota Blues Alley.

Established by Navasota Blues Fest Inc., the Blues Alley's museum and shop will provide a central location for the city's blues music scene.

Organizers and founders will host a grand-opening celebration at 4 p.m. Friday at its new home, 129 E. Washington St. in Navasota. Visitors can tour the building, which includes information about Navasota blues legend Mance Lipscomb.

The nonprofit group also plans to collect artifacts for the museum and will put together a monthly musician showcase.

The first of those shows will be at 6 p.m. Saturday, when The Blues Masters play at the Filling Station Diner, 310 E. Washington St.

Blues Fest merchandise, including T-shirts, caps, Lipscomb CDs and other collectibles, will be for sale at Blues Alley.

Navasota Blues Alley will be open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesdays through Saturdays and noon to 5 p.m. Sundays.

Organizers for the Navasota Blues Festival also have released the musical entertainment for this year's event, which takes place Aug. 10-11. Artists include Navasota native Randy Pavlock, Blind Orange Jefferson and the Seeing Eye Band, Tubie & the Touchtones, Leannasaurus Rex, Brad Absher and Rob Roy Parnell.
