“The Big Bend is not close to nowhere so people ain't had a chance to ruin it. It's just like it always was. When your lungs are full of Big Bend air you seem to forget that you are gettin' older. But I reckon the best thing about this part of Texas is that it's lonesomer than any place else.”
~an unnamed Big Bend resident

Coming up this week: The annual Terlingua Music Bash began as a tribute to the many musicians in the Big Bend region. It began as a small gathering of musicians, hosted by Terlingua newcomers, Gareth Angleton and Al Barlow. Over the years, the event grew into more of a "happening" than a bash. Many notable artists, songwriters, musicians, and families continue to get together the 3rd weekend of October - every year - to celebrate original, homegrown music in the most beautiful and magical place in the state of Texas. Appearing at lots of local places including:
