Home to Lee Trevino, Dallas has always been an important part of my imagination, and sometimes when there are events happening, I will make the necessary arrangements to get to town. If this gives me a chance to get closer to the truth of Lee and his life and legacy, then there is no reason to fight the need. It’s a fascinating place, one of the largest cities in the country, and there are so many spectacular things to do. This city is also the birthplace of Buddy Holly, and Nora Jones, so it’s not just about golf, but also lots of music. There are golf courses, of course, and plenty of opportunities to enjoy that kind of sunshine, and when the day turns into night, I like to go see shows.
This link will show you some great hotels, so you can find a place that’s exactly where you want, and with great amenities. If you happen to get to town in February, my money is on the show in Grand Prairie, where Davy Jones and David Cassidy are going to be joining forces for a rare night of musical fun, along with a lot of musical history. At least for this rock and roller, because I saw some of my most favorite life events when I was listening to their music. I have to admit, I have a very strong pull toward Davy Jones, and I’m not sure exactly what it is. It could be the English accent.
When I was growing up here, any accent that wasn’t local just made me feel better, and his was interesting, because he also sang with the accent on when he was singing with the Monkees. I do like David Cassidy, too, and I used to wonder why his accent wasn’t like Davy Jones, because when I was a kid I just assumed all singers had accents. Then I found out that Cassidy is from Hollywood, so that made perfect sense. However, for this daydream believer, all my pleasant valley Sundays come with memories of the Monkees, and a Monkee in Dallas sounds like a barrel of fun.
