Howdy and welcome the wise about Texas the Texas History Podcast.

I'm your host Ken Wise.

I want to thank you for tuning in today for little Texas history.

You're joining listeners in 150 other countries listening to this podcast.

consider a very well-produced performance really it's it's like going on a road trip

with him he's been to an old Austin bar that that I will confess I've been to and it was
