Thanks for laying out the facts on the truly ancient music history of Austin. Now I know the places and names and even grave sites. You’re doing a great service for us locals who want to know more.
Wild to see this here, I just found out I am related to an original German immigrant and former mayor Thielepape from randomly googling my last name. Weird how many interests we share in common.
Thank you, Michael, for your kind words about my blog, The Austin Blunderbuss, and for all your work documenting Texas music history!
There's a pretty decent picture of the music hall as it is today here -> https://scottishritetheater.org/rentals/
