Since today is San Jacinto Day, it seems appropriate that today’s song of the day should come from Texas!
Here is the University of North Texas’s One O’Clock Lab band performing Maria at the Addison Jazz Festival.
Happy San Jacinto Day!
You can celebrate by watching my favorite scene from Richard Linklater’s Bernie! I really love this quick lesson about my home state:
By the way, that line about “Dallas snobs,” always got a big laugh from the audiences at the Dallas Angelika. It’s important to have a sense of humor.

This painting is from 1910 and depicts the battle of the Alamo, which occurred 190 years ago today. It can be seen in the Texas State Capitol’s Senate Chamber.
Today is Alamo Day. It was 189 years ago, today, that 600 men gave their lives in the name of Texas. Today’s music video of the day is all about celebrating the bravery of those men. And no, I don’t want to hear your revisionist thinking. This is our day.
Enjoy!
