Having grown up on the East Coast, I only heard this song for first time a few months ago. I think this orchestra does it the best. Absolutely beautiful and uplifting melody. Texans have reason to be proud of this one for sure.
I will forever associate this with watching 4 Country Reporter (KDFW TV Channel 4) as a teenager in the 1970's. It brings back such fond memories. Great job on the performance!!!
I’ve been searching for this. Our whole family went to UT Austin. My father and his brothers attended during the 30s. They were farm boys turned into physics majors. Lovely song…
I always loved hearing the Army Band at Ft. Sam Houston in San Antonio play this song. When I was the Special Troops Battalion Executive Officer there many years ago I got to hear it often.

I remember playing this back when I was in the University of Texas Longhorn Band back in the 70's. Thanks for the memory.

I played this hundreds of times, if not more, in the Berlin Brigade Band and later in the 1st Cav Band.
As a native Texan who had to re-locate to California and is in the process of returning to Texas... AMAZING JOB... Loved this. :')

You can still watch Bob do his thing throughout Texas. ua-cam.com/users/texascountryreporter
Bob just retired after hosting the show for 52 years. Unbelievable run.
Yep, 4 Country, then 8 Country and Texas country reporter! I had no idea that this was a willie Nelson song.
Love this, I love my Texas. Reminds me of my dad and grandad.
They actually improved this song...makes my pride swell so...thanks
