Album Notes

Don Wallace has become a local dance hall legend in the Austin, Texas area. Don and his band have been featured at virtually every dance hall and honky tonk that highlights traditional country music. Don has taken pride in the music that he has performed for the last forty years while devoting his life to the music from the honky tonks. Don has a great love for the music of Ray Price, Johnny Bush, Faron Young and Willie Nelson.

Many years ago, he caught the ear of a young Justin Trevino. Justin started attending his dances and became a fan of the honky tonk balladear. Not only listening, Justin was also learning and cultivating the beginnings of his own career while enjoying the steel guitar and fiddles that were featured in the Don Wallace shows.

"Texas Dance Hall Memories" is actually a way for Justin and these fellow musicians to pay homage to Don Wallace and show their respect to someone who has devoted his life to playing honky tonk music.

Don Wallace will never see his name on the Grand Ole Opry roster or in lights at Carnegie Hall. But if you are ever in Austin on a Saturday night and hear real country music coming out of a real Texas honky tonk, chances are that Don is doing what he does best-making more Texas Dance Hall Memories.
