Marsh was also a member and the choirmaster at St. Patrick Cathedral in downtown Fort Worth, where his funeral Mass was held in 1971. As a longtime member of St. Pat's myself, we parishioners are very proud of the fact that he composed "Texas, Our Texas," which was hailed by John Philip Sousa as the finest state song that he'd ever heard. Coming from Sousa, that's high praise indeed!

Marsh was important but Brown is the bigger Star. The Brownies were far bigger that Bob Wills and The Texas Playboys/ Lightcrust Doughboys when Brown died. Wills and and the Brown brothers were in bands all the way back to when Milton was in high school at Arlington Heights. I think Wills and Brown both lived very close to the Orginal further west on Camp Bowie when they started.

The ceiling at fat Harry’s was legit though, covered from end to end with beer bottles.

It has. The original is basically part of the "TCU March" by Sammis and Guenther. At some point after Prof J's time, one of the band directors wanted an 8 bar intro instead of the 16 bar intro that was being used. So he got Curt to write a new intro...which ballooned into a total arrangement. In my opinion, Dr Guenther was a much better arranger for large musical groups than Curt was, and it shows in this piece. Curt's forte was jazz bands and small groups.

That bacon cheeseburger with thousand islands secret sauce at Jon’s would beat anything at Dutch’s by a country mile. I do love all the TCU stuff on the walls, tho.

Best I can do and have not heard it in years.

Was I supposed to type something here?
Why do I hear a Police song instead?

Good, but not as good as the original at Carlson's Drive-In on University Drive...

Sorry, Tyler, as one who is old enough to have sampled both, Dutch's bacon blue cheese burger comes in No. 1 by a mile.

Not to derail the thread but I base a burger off the meat and bun. Hell, anything tastes good when you add bacon & cheese. You ever had brocolli with bacon & cheese? Not bad. And if you’re putting an egg, goat cheese, raspberry chipotle sauce or some other dumb [ Finebaum ] on there, I invite you to go somewhere else for your sports talk.

That one is good, too. That bread at Dutch’s is just a little too close to sweet for me.

My dad drove nothing but Delta 88's. Bought one at the place you mentioned, but it had become Ryan Olds by that time. All the other one's were bought at Meador Olds on 7th St.
