Hi this is Sana, and I’m Anna.
We are the ladies of Stone Cold Country, and this is
the August 2023 Texas Six Pack.
The Texas Six Pack was a feature we created in late 2018 for our Stone Cold Country radio show. Due to the incredible popularity of the segment, in January 2023, we decided to roll it out as a stand alone podcast with a new episode every month.
We always like to kick things off with some news from the Lone Star State. Finally, an official proclamation from the State of Texas, recognizing the inaugural Cindy Walker Days in Mexia, Texas.
Cindy was a trailblazer, and instrumental in some of the most iconic country classics like Elvis' You Don’t Know Me, and Bob Wills’ Cherokee Maisen.
Cindy is widely regarded as one of the greatest country songwriters of all-time, and was inducted into the National Cowgirls Hall of Fame, The Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, The Texas Heritage Songwriters Hall of Fame and The Texas Country Music Hall of Fame. She was the first woman elected to the Country Music Association Board.
And lastly y’all be careful while mowing your lawn. Not that the extreme heat, the highest ever in many areas isn’t enough. You also have to worry about snakes falling from the sky! Peggy Jones from Silsbee Texas had the unfortunate experience of a snake 4ft and a half falling on her arm.
Then a hawk swooped down and tried to claw the snake from her arm. You really can’t make this stuff up. Meanwhile the snake kept tightening around her arm while the hawk kept clawing. The Hawk was successful and flew away with its lunch. And Peggy was treated at the local ER. How frightening!
