Along the Trail of Lights, Austin (2008)
Day 24 – Here are some more favorites from the Lone Star State. From Roy Orbison’s classic “Pretty Paper” (written by Willie Nelson) to Robert Earl Keen’s modern radio favorite “Merry Christmas From The Family,” these homegrown holiday chestnuts are enough to keep you cool on a humid December Texas night. And they’ll keep you toasty a few hours later, when the cold front blows through.
