I tried to find the best songs that I could and also ones that fit what I do in my live show. There’s a little bit of everything, including some more traditional country stuff and some songs that might raise a few eyebrows.

Bellamy Brothers Become Texas Rangers

Posted on by

The Bellamy Brothers Are Now Honorary Texas Rangers. So kids love playing at cowboys and cops and what not, and later on some of those kids actually become sheriffs or police officers or soldiers. Other kids though, grow up to be other things like, I don’t know, country music singers. Well, that is obviously the route The Bellamy Brothers took, but it looks like they get to have it both ways now! The duo has been granted honorary membership into the Former Texas Ranger Foundation that is comprised of retired Texas Rangers. The two have been given official badges, pins and plaques! They first crossed paths with the organization at the foundation’s Silver Star Gala in 2011, and I guess they made an impression. That’s just not something the average person can claim…so kudos to them. They’ve officially fulfilled two very common childhood dreams. While You’re Here…Check Out This Old School Video of “Satin Sheets”! [youtube:www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpIlex5EvYs]
