Doug Sahm makes beautiful music in heaven, no matter how sloppy things get on earth.

A DAY FOR DOUG

Somewhere in the seedy side of heaven there is a place for Doug Sahm. No doubt he has plenty of company: Hank is there, and so is Elvis, and Stevie Ray, and all the other musicians who meant so much to all of us. Townes Van Zandt busies himself writing timeless ballads, and Lefty Frizzell bangs them out on an old guitar with Ernest Tubb accompanying. There, off to the side, Valerio Longoria squeezes out a polka while T-Bone Walker plays the blues, and Bob Wills walks around with his fiddle, commenting on it all — Ah-haaah — in that lilting way so reminiscent of wide open West Texas spaces.
