Wilma plays bass guitar with Dick at lead/rhythm guitar. Both are vocalists who sing as a duet or individually. They were married in 1997 after Wilma moved from Missouri and met Dick in Nebraska. They now live in the RGV as full time Converted Texans. Wilma is a retired nurse who learned to play bass guitar on her own as an older adult. She sang with her family as a child and sang in school and church choirs. She also sang with her sister on the radio. Dick is retired from truck sales and raced cars. After being encouraged by his mother and brother, Dick started performing at age eight. Over his career, he has performed both on radio and TV. In Nebraska, Dick was in both the Kenaston Band and the Good Ol’ Boys band. He and Wilma also performed with Don Joy and Melanie Lynn in Nashville, TN. Everyone was welcoming as we listened to the great country music selections that brought back memories. Some couples chose to dance instead of just listening. The audience of over 60 really appreciated each performance. Midway through the performances, the park volunteers provided desserts and beverages. As with many jams, the final song selection was God Bless America, where everyone lent their voice before leaving for the evening. South Padre Island Market Days returns to the Island next week.

SPI Market Days next week The Mission Historical Museum presents MHM Lecture Series: Tequila Sunset: Liquor Smuggling in Prohibition Era South Texas by George T. Diaz. Join others as Diaz presents a lecture on Liquor Smuggling in the Prohibition Era in South Texas on Saturday, January 14th at 11 a.m. at the Mission Historical Museum. Admission is free to the public. Coffee and light refreshments will be served. Tequila Sunset: Liquor Smuggling in Prohibition Era South Texas Between 1920 and 1933, mounted ethnic Mexican liquor smugglers, [tequileros] supplied Mexican liquor to thirsty American markets. While Anglos and ethnic Mexicans both violated U.S. laws, American law enforcement took a much higher toll on tequileros than their Anglo counterparts. Indeed, American law enforcement’s war on tequileros was so successful that by the end of the 1920s, it had effectively ended tequilero forays into South Texas. Dr. Díaz’s talk will cover corridos about smuggling and compare them to law enforcement and English language accounts from the era to uncover a history of smuggling across the Rio Grande.
