That’s great David. Thanks for posting it - it even played for me despite that I don’t have a Facebook account.

Seeing those guys wearing boots and belt buckles remind me of another Texas tenor, Fort Worth native Gary Morris. The story goes that Morris already had a successful country music career underway, with several top 10 hits, when he was in New York City for a concert and saw a casting call for try-outs for the broadway musical Lés Miserables. He decided to try out, and went prior to one of his country performances. The broadway musical execs laughed when he showed up wearing boots, jeans and a belt with a big buckle. Until he opened his mouth and started singing.

He ended up with the role of the main character, Jean Valjean, which he performed on broadway for the better part of two years. His is the voice of Jean Valjean you hear on the Lés Miserables all-star cast recording.

So yes, Texas has some great tenors!

David, those guys are very good! Very pure voices. Thanks for posting!
Ken, your post, about Gary Morris, reminded me of a funny story about him and my son. In 1995, I was stationed at Ramstein Air Base, Germany. Gary Morris was coming to the base, with Lari White, for a USO Christmas show. They played Ramstein; then, continued the tour through Italy and Turkey. Lari was first billing, on the show. She had won You Can Be a Star, in 1988 and had a few hits. Lari had been signed by RCA records. My Dad, who was VP of country promotions, at RCA Nashville, at the time, was (and still remains) good friends with Bill Carter, Lari's manager. Gary went on first and put on an exceptional show. After the show, Bill Carter invited my wife, our son (who had just turned 4) and I out to dinner, with them at a local Gasthaus. Lari White's husband (Chuck) was the funniest of the entire group. He and my 4 year old, kept us entertained thoughout the evening. Garry pulled out a copy of his promotional picture. He was clean shaven, at the show. I found this same promotional picture of him...that he autographed and handed to my son. My son looked at it and loudly exclaimed (in all the brutal honesty of a 4 year old) "You look like a robber!" Everyone got a good laugh. Bill said that Gary was kidded, about being a robber, for the rest of the trip. Sadly, Lari passed away, in 2018, from advanced peritoneal cancer, at the age of 52.

Another great one by The Texas Tenors..
This time as you listen close your eyes and lean back, you will be
amazed at how relaxed you become. At least I did.
