Traces of Texas reader John Klier was the photo editor of the University Star newspaper at Southwest Texas State in San Marcos back in 1989. That’s when he took this photo of the great George Strait at the Strahan Colosseum. John said it was a great job and he really misses the San Marcos of that time. If you look close, you can tell that George is hoping he can make it to Amarillo by morning. 😉

At 78, Barry Gibb Finally Speaks—Revealing the Quiet Heartbreak He Has Carried for Decades Over His Younger Brother, Andy Gibb. In a rare and deeply emotional reflection, the last surviving member of the Bee Gees looks back on a brother who rose to fame with breathtaking speed, only to be overwhelmed by the very spotlight that made him a star. Barry’s words carry love, regret, and a pain that never fully faded—an enduring reminder of a life cut short and a talent gone too soon. Beneath the legend of the Bee Gees lies something more fragile: a family story shaped by devotion, pride, and a bond that even time could not break.
