How Low Did He Go — The Case History of Dale Watson

By Ron Munden – 11/4/2024

This is the follow up to the article I posted titled: “How Low Can He Go” which I posted last week on my website and social media. click here to read the first story

Again, I want everyone to know these are my personal opinions. No one associated with Boogie Woogie Marshall is aware of the content of this article. I do hope everyone in Marshall, including people associated with Boggie Woogie, will read this article. It will be available on social media and the website – EastTexasExposed.com

As a reminder, Mr. Watson threw a temper tantrum after hearing that he would be sharing the stage with Wes Jeans and Daryl Davis at the Boogie Woogie fundraiser. Mr. Watson announced he wanted nothing more to do with Boogie Woogie. Mr. Watson quit the Boogie Woogie Marshall project.

At that point I never thought I would write another word about Mr. Watson but the public reserves to know about Mr. Watson’s conduct during this year’s Boogie Woogie Festival. So here is another chapter in “The Case History of Dale Watson.”

On Friday, the first day of the festival, Mr. Watson parked his bus facing the entrance to the festival. The message crawler on his bus read, “FUCK BOOGIEFEST”. Some people were offended by the sign and the police were called. The Chief of Police and City Attorney discussed if this was a “freedom of speech matter.” Since the bus was parked on a public street and people were objecting, they decided this was not a free speech issue.

The police contacted Mr. Watson’s wife. She said Mr. Watson was not available. The police said since people were complaining, they would write a citation for posting obscene material and put it on the bus.

Mr. Watson’s wife said she could turn off the “FUCK BOOGIEFEST” that was displaying on Watson’s bus. She did turn the sign off.

Dr. John Tennison is a practicing psychiatrist but he is also a music historian. It was his research that led to the designation, “Marshall Texas, Birthplace of Boogie Woogie.” He is a big supporter of Boogie Woogie Marshall.

Why would Dale Watson do a thing like – bad mouth Boogie Woogie Fest?

I contacted John by email and asked his impression of Mr. Watson’s actions during Boogie Woogie Fest 2024. His reply addressed the topic far better than I could ever do, so I decided to make it part of this article.

John Tennison wrote:

If I am cited in your article, I would like it to be clear that I was not “outraged”. However, I was disappointed and perplexed, in that the scrolling graffiti (“FUCK BOOGIEFEST”) on Dale Watson’s bus came across as if it was being directed globally at everyone who was participating in the 2024 Boogie Woogie Fest — artists, fans, volunteers, etc.

I have only heard theories as to what grievance Dale Watson might have had regarding the Boogie Woogie Fest. It seemed to me that such a global and non-specific expletive being expressed from Dale Watson‘s bus, which was parked directly beside and with the graffiti facing the festival, could only hurt Dale Watson’s own reputation. The fact that someone would have such a strong reaction towards the festival would make many people curious and want to go to the festival all the more. Ironically, the scrolling graffiti was probably good publicity for the festival. For this reason, I decided to make a video of the scrolling graffiti.

I hope Dale Watson will make a public statement in which he specifically clarifies what he was so upset about, and I hope that Dale will publicly apologize to participants of Boogie Woogie Fest 2024, who have in no way wronged Dale; gave freely of their time or bought a ticket to be there; and were there that day only to celebrate Boogie Woogie, the most influential musical genre ever to have originated in Texas.

I have decided on a title for my next Boogie Woogie album. It’s going to be called “FUN BOOGIEFEST”. Let’s Make Boogie Woogie Fun Again!

The above all happened on Friday. However, the Watson family was not through trashing Boogie Fest 2024.

On Sunday this appeared:

Mr. Watson’s wife posted the “Feel bad…” statement on her social media.

One of the performers, Dona Oxford – known as “The Queen of Boogie Woogie” made a quick response. She said:

“It was a great festival with great people and great musicians! No haters there! Can’t wait to go back next year!!”

I attended the festival all three days. I talked to lots of people. Everyone I talked to was excited by the quality of the talent. I only heard positive comments from the performers. All of my social media accounts reflected positive comments.

Ms. Watson’s comment demonstrates one thing – evaluating a festival with a pair of binoculars from a second floor window one block away may not be the best way to detect the pulse of the event.

Dona Oxford is correct. Boogie Woogie 2024 was a success. There will be a Boogie Woogie 2025 – with or without the Watson’s looking on.

————————————————————-

Final Thought

In my opinion, if Dale Watson tells you he wants to give you a helping hand – approach with extreme caution, he may just give you the middle finger.

How Low Can He Go — The Case History of Dale Watson

By Ron Munden – 10/28/2024

First, I want everyone to know these are my personal opinions. No one associated with Boogie Woogie Marshall is aware I am writing this article. I do hope everyone in Marshall, including people associated with Boggie Woogie, will read this article and future articles I plan to write on the subject. All will be available on social media and the website – EastTexasExposed.com

On 1 March 2024 I wrote the comments below after Mr. Watson threw a temper tantrum after hearing that he would be sharing the stage with Wes Jeans and Daryl Davis at the Boogie Woogie fundraiser. Mr. Watson announced he wanted nothing more to do with Boogie Woogie.

This was my response to hearing the news:

Wow! I can only think of a few reasons why Dale Watson was not willing to share the stage with two other talented performers. First, the stage is very small, Second, Mr. Watson has gained a lot of weight and his size requires him to have a stage for only his large body. Third, he is so insecure and ego-driven that he has to be the only performer. My bet is on number three.

In my opinion, Mr. Watson has never been a supporter of Woogie Boogie Marshall. In my opinion, Mr. Watson is one of those people whose only purpose in life to promote himself. I am sorry to see him go but he just does not appear to be a fit.

The true supporters of Boogie Woogie Marshall need to prove to Mr. Watson that he is not needed to make Boogie Woogie Marshall a success or for him to be in Marshall for that matter. You can join the movement – the stage is big enough for everyone.

The 2024 Boogie Woogie Festival was a great success. There was only one dark cloud and Mr. Watson was at the center of that cloud. This will be the subject of my next article.

Dollars for the Depot

Marshall Depot Board officially kicks off

2024 Fundraising Campaign with KMHT Radio

“Dollars for the Depot” event at the Depot on July 19

Marshall’s local KMHT radio station (103.9 FM) and the volunteer Marshall Depot Board of Directors invite members of our community to support the Depot by attending the Dollars for the Depot fundraising event, which will be held at the historic Marshall Depot (800 North Washington) in downtown Marshall Friday, July 19 from 4:00pm-6:00pm.

Christina Anderson, president of the volunteer Board of Directors of the non-profit Marshall Depot Inc., shared: “The Marshall Depot Board is very grateful to KMHT for their strong and much-appreciated support in proposing this wonderful Dollars for the Depot event to assist with our 2024 annual fundraising campaign.”

She added: “We invite community members to join us for the event where they can make a tax-deductible donation to support this important asset—our historic Depot—which provides many benefits to our community related to transportation, tourism, education, quality of life, as well as documenting and continuing Marshall’s rich and fascinating railroad history. Plus, the Depot and Amtrak station provide a great benefit to our local economy.”

Ashli Dansby, General Manager of KMHT Radio station, shared: “KMHT Radio has had a decades-long relationship with the historic Marshall Depot and wants to continue to see the Depot flourish. It’s an economic driver for our community while also being home to two top-notch museums. The Depot is often the first place in Marshall a visitor will see, and it’s so important to keep it well-maintained and running well.”

The Marshall Depot is managed and operated by a volunteer Board of Directors that is made up of local community members. The volunteer board is also charged with the task of raising the funding needed every year to operate, manage, and provide the daily maintenance and ongoing preservation to the historic Depot, which operates as an Amtrak station and Texas & Pacific Railway Museum.

The Boogie Woogie Museum Exhibit Room was also added to the Museum recently by Alan Loudermilk, Depot Board member, founder of the Boogie Woogie Marshall, and owner of the Ginocchio Restaurant.

The Marshall Depot Inc. is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit established in 1990 to assist the City with the restoration, operation, and maintenance of the Depot. The Marshall Depot was built in 1912 and was restored in 1999.

Ms. Anderson also expressed the Board’s appreciation to the City of Marshall and the Marshall City Council and to Harrison County and the Harrison County Commissioners Court for the financial assistance that they provide the Depot each year as well.

In addition, she said: “We also, of course, want to send an ongoing shout-out of appreciation to Amtrak. We, as a community, are very fortunate to be one of only about 525 cities nationwide to have an Amtrak stop. Plus, Marshall is one of Amtrak’s crew change stops along the Texas Eagle route, which brings in tens of thousands of dollars to our local economy each year from the six crew members who stay in our community each day, in addition to the thousands of visitors and passengers who travel to our community annually via Amtrak. Amtrak is an outstanding and much-appreciated partner to our community, as is Union Pacific.”

KMHT’s Ashli Dansby shared that, in addition to community members being able to make a tax-deductible contribution at Friday’s event, they will also be holding a silent auction at the event of a number of items, including a beautiful Marshall Depot-related painting by local artist Dennis O’Bryant. (See attached photo)

Mr. O’Bryant has donated this 19”x25” acrylic painting, valued at $650, to assist with the fundraising for the Depot for which the Depot Board and KMHT are very grateful.

Ms. Anderson also expressed appreciation to the four community members who have stepped up to provide the initial challenge match for the fundraising at the Dollars for the Depot event of $1,000 each. The donors are Sam Baxter and McKool Smith, Marty Vaughan, the Hubbard-Watlington Foundation, and the Anderson Foundation, for the opening match, which event organizers hope to meet or exceed.

Ms. Anderson stated: “The event also gives us the opportunity to thank all community members who have already kindly sent in their donation to the 2024 annual Depot fundraising campaign and to those who have kindly given to the Depot in the past. Also, in advance we thank those will be making donations at the event, or giving in response to the 2024 Depot fundraising mailing. The Board appreciates everyone’s support to help keep this important and beneficial asset for our community strong into the future.”

Ms. Anderson and Ms. Dansby also wished to express their appreciation to The Cammack Family Sullivan Funeral Home for generously donating the use of a tent for the outdoor activities of the event. Members of the Depot Board will also be on hand to provide tours for guests of the Texas & Pacific Railway Museum and Gift Shop, as well as the Boogie Woogie Marshall Museum Room.

If you would like to make a tax-deductible donation, please mail your check to Marshall Depot Inc. at 800 North Washington Avenue, Marshall, Texas 75670. Or, if it’s more convenient, you can scan the attached QR code and make a donation that way.

In addition to Ms. Anderson, the other members of the volunteer Marshall Depot Board are: John Fortune (Vice President), George Leleko (Treasurer), Cindy Leleko (Secretary), Richard Anderson, Scott Barmore, Gordy Beran, Thad Carter, Judy Covey, Mary Hendricks, Griff Hubbard, Kristal Jeans, Alan Loudermilk, Dana Morton, Joy Smith, Daryl Ware, and Eddy Young.

What Goes Around Comes Around

Looking Back

1969

*****************************

What Goes Around Comes Around

******************

By Ron Munden

Today, my OneDrive Memories displayed the above images. The photos were taken 55 years ago when I was a student at the University of California, Berkeley and a photographer documenting the National Guard on campus. The 55 years have not been good to the color slides but my memories of those days are still very clear.

It has been 55 years and we again are seeing protests on college campuses across the country. Have we learned anything from the 60s?

I attended Berkeley in 1968, 1969 and 1970. 1968 and 1969 were interesting times.

While I had concerns about the war in Vietnam, the Department of Defense was paying me to go to school so I did my best to stay clear of the protests but that was not always possible.

My first involvement was with SIS and a black protest movement.

The shortest path between the Naval Architecture building and the student union building was through Sather Gate. I made the trip frequently for food and supplies.

One day after I finished lunch, I started back to the NA building. I found that a group of black students had blocked Sather Gate and were not letting people walk through the gate. I had a bag of materials so I turned around and took a long, out of the way path back to the NA building. In those days, I was not the kind sweet person I am today. As I walked back, my dislike of these protesters increased with each step.

That night when I got home, I went up and talked to the guy that lived in the apartment above me. I borrowed a leather jacket and a pair of steel toed boots. He also gave me something that I could carry that would serve as a club if required. I had my wardrobe for the next day.

The next day was a repeat of the previous day. The group came back and blocked Sather again. This time, armed with my steel toed boots and potential club, I walked up to the line. A guy, my size or maybe smaller, stood in front of me and said “you can’t come through this gate.” I politely said, “Yes I can and I would suggest you might want to step out of the fucking way”. I was very confident I could get him to move. His spread-leg stance would have allowed me to make one quick leg movement to deposit his testicals in his throat. Others in the group might have beat the shit out of me but he would not have been able to participate. Fortunately, for everyone, he stepped aside and I walked through the gate and he continued to block the gate.

I wore my uniform for another week but the protesters and I never crossed paths again.

That was 1968.

The real action on campus came in 1969. The citizens of Berkeley had built a park on a vacant lot that was owned by the University. The administration announced they were going to build a parking lot on the spot where the park was located. This sparked a big protest involving Berkeley citizens and students. The action centered around Sather Gate again. The protests were loud but I did not see any violence.

Governor Ronald Reagan did not ask me my opinion. He did order the National Guard on campus. As you might recall, this was the era when a student at Kent State was killed by the National Guard.

After observing what happened at Berkeley I understand how this could happen.

Over reaction is an understatement. When a group of protesters formed, helicopters would fly overhead and discharge pepper spray on the crowd. Of course, the wind dispersed the pepper spray across campus. On more than one occasion, I and other students sat in class with eyes watering from the pepper spray dropped halfway across campus.

For some unknown reason the National Guard members carried rifles with fixed bayonets.

On one occasion, a line of NG members blocked Sather Gate. I did not see any protesters but a large group of students, like me, found our normal path across campus blocked. I don’t know what happened, maybe someone threw a bottle of water or something. For some reason one of the NG members broke formation and began chasing a student. Other students, including me, began to run. That provoked the other 20+ NG members to start chasing the other students.

In my 20s, I was still able to run fast enough to outrun most people. Particularly, a person with a rifle with a fixed barnet attached.

This experience taught me that in demonstrations and protests a lot of innocent bystanders can get involved through no fault of their own and you should not send a group of poorly trained, poorly managed people in to break up a protest.

I believe violent protests need to be controlled but it needs to be done by trained professionals.

Protest Permit Renewal Now

April 17 , 2024

Harrison County needs your help NOW!

Don’t Let An Outside Company Pollute Our County

We are writing to ask for your help – needed in the next 48 hours.

Many of you know Jerry Cargill has been fighting to get a local Oil and Gas Waste operator, McBride Operating, LLC to clean up its act. The owner has proven to be deceitful and nefarious in every aspect of his business. He is polluting the land around him including Jerry’s at record speed. What the Railroad Commission has allowed him to get away with over the years (via record and by their own admission) is shocking.

None of us should tolerate this operator anywhere in the East Texas region, and I need your help protesting McBride’s renewal application.

“Protesting a renewal application” is a legal, free and an expected part of the application process. The Railroad Commission relies on this commentary to better understand if there are local problems.

The McBride organization understands this so well, that they published notice of its renewal application in the Longview paper instead of the Marshall paper, so we would be less likely to see it and comment.

Protests are due no later than 5:00 PM on April 18, 2024

Today, if you are willing, please copy/paste and send the email of protest below. You can add more commentary, like “we want Texas Oil and Gas Operators to continue to lead the world in best practices, McBride significantly damages the reputation of the industry in our great state,” or anything else. But, according to Mr, Cargill attorneys, below is all that is required and needs to be included if more is added to the message …

re: Protest of McBride Operating LLC renewal

I am [NAME]. I have grave concerns regarding McBride Operating, LLC’s Waskom Facility. McBride Operating, LLC has a history of non-compliance at its Waskom Facility which includes the pollution of water. McBride Operating LLC should not be permitted to continue operating the Waskom Facility.

I hereby protest the application of McBride Operating, LLC to renew its permit for a Commercial Oil and Gas Waste Separation Facility along with associated Application for a Permit to Maintain and Use a Pit (Form H-11) for each of four pits at the McBride Waskom Waste Separation Facility (STF-0149).

A Better Option For Democrats

Democrats Should Open Their Eyes Before It’s Too Late

By Ron Munden

Democrats Have A Better Option Than Biden
From a podcast by Ezra Klein

I have never been a Democrat. I spent 40 years as a Republican but became an Independent when George W. Bush invaded Iraq.

I have voted for some Democrats but I have never considered becoming a Democrat for many reasons. One is they make bad choices. Running Joe Biden for a second term is one of those decisions and there is a high probability that this will return Donald Trump to the presidency and change the direction of the country and its democratic form of government.

Today I heard a podcast that every Democrat and Independent should listen to before it’s too late for Joe Biden and the Democrats to do the right thing.

Harrison CAD – letter 2

February 6, 2024

Harrison CAD
P.O. Box 818
Marshall, TX 75671-0808

Dear Sir:

This letter specifically addresses PROD ID: R48779 ABST: 747 A WHETSTONE, V ACRES: 7.000.

On January 30, 2024 I sent your office certified letter 7015 1730 0001 1541 4718. This letter addressed the fact that the 2023 taxes on the subject land were 23 times higher than the 2022 taxes.

I sent the letter return receipt but have not received a signed return card. Therefore, I have no knowledge your office received my first letter. For this reason I am sending this letter to your “Contact@HarrisonCAD.net” address. I am attaching a copy of my first letter since I have no proof you received it.

This letter supersedes paragraph #4 of the first letter dated January 29, 2024.

In an effort to exercise due diligence I have acquired the services of a real estate expert to assist me in deciding the most effective method of disposing of the subject property. Mr. Jack “Fuzzy” Harmon will be assisting me – you may have heard his name before.

Within the next 30 days I will decide on the path I will take.

As part of my data gathering, I would like a HCAD representative to answer this simple question in layman terms.

“Why did my taxes jump from $38.24 to $906.95 in a single year?” There has been absolutely no change in the property or the use of the property during this period.

Request you provide the response by email to “etextowns@gmail.com.” I also request a response verifying receipt of this letter.

Looking forward to your speedy reply.

Sincerely,

Ron Munden

Dear Sir:

This letter specifically addresses PROD ID: R48779 ABST: 747 A WHETSTONE, V ACRES: 7.000.

In the year 2022 my tax bill for the subject property was $38.24 since it was in an agricultural reserve, as it has been for the past 20 years. I was shocked to see that my taxes increased to $906.95 in 2023. Wow! My tax bill has increased 23.71 times in a single year.

I am sure your office knows I own a 66% undivided interest in this landlocked piece of property. Reviewing your statement, I find this property is now appraised at $59,500.

Since I have never made a penny off of my undivided interest in this land and have no interest in using it, it does not seem like a good business decision to write HCAD a check for $906.95. Based on advice – this letter is to notify HCAD that I will not be paying the taxes on PROD ID: R48779 and request HCAD include it in your next tax sale.

Please deduct your $906.95 in taxes and reasonable processing fees from the sale on this $59,500 piece of property and forward the remaining funds from the sale to me.

As the part owner of PROD ID: R48779, I request you keep me fully informed on the status of this transaction. Request all communications be in writing. Being considerate of your time, I suggest that our communication be by email. Please use my “etextowns@gmail.com” email address.

For starters, could you provide me with a rough timeline for how long it will take to complete this transaction. Also I realize tax sales don’t bring top dollar so I would not expect the complete $59,500. Do sales tax bring 50%, 25%?

Finally, I feel bad about not addressing you by name but I understand the Chief Appraiser has been fired and I just did not know the name.

Sincerely,

Ron Munden

Billy Bob Rae

*****************************

Billy Bob Rae Gone Forever?
******************

By Ron Munden – January 11, 2024

I am sure that all our long-time readers fondly remember the wisdom Billy Bob displayed in each of the articles he posted to this site.

About three years ago, it was with a heavy heart that I announced Billy Bob had passed after a massive heart attack. In closing I said, “Billy Bob is gone but not forgotten.”

Recently it has come to light that Billy Bob was the proud father of 4 boys – each by a different girlfriend.

Following in the footsteps of George Foreman, Billy Bob named his son’s Billy Bob 1 , Billy Bob 2, etc. This way he could keep track of which son belonged to which girlfriend.

Last week I received an unexpected letter from Billy Bob 3. He had found a folder containing some of Billy Bob’s articles along with one of my business cards.

Most of the conversation centered around Billy Bob 3 and what he had learned from Billy Bob. It was quickly apparent that Billy Bob 3 is a deep thinker like his father. He focused most of the time on his disappointment with internet content. He said that he devoted the better part of the last 5 years finding these evil websites and collecting very detailed information on what was contained on the site and how to get to it.

He said he hears stories every day from people accidentally ending up on these evil sites and spending hours getting off the site. He said his calling in life now is to become an internet censor and warn people about these banned sites. He said he is ready to start the project but he does not have a platform where he can execute his mission.

Billy Bob 3 said he knew how much I respected his father and he thought I might be willing to give him a chance to censor evil on this site.

For years I have been against censorship. But I must admit that censorship is the new “in thing”; particularly if your political party’s name starts with an “R”. So I might be able to grow my readership if I have a good censor on the staff.

Today I am happy to announce that a new section will be coming to the site – “The Censor Is In The House.” Billy Bob 3 will have artistic control of the section and will post articles based on his hours and hours of research on internet evil. The frequency of his posts will be based on the status of his research, not a rigid timeline.

I would tell you more about the project but those comments were just censored.
