I read about Cindy in your book, All Over the Map, and enjoyed it very much. First time I became aware of Ms. Walker was the Ray Charles' song, "You Don't Know Me." I thought it was incredible that a gal from Mexia could pen such a heartfelt song. Also interesting is that the Cindy Walker Days celebration will be held at Fort Parker, the home of Cynthia Ann Parker who was abducted by the Comanches and was the mother of Quanah Parker. Another famous female from that little town
We spent Hurricane Carla in Muh har' -- the way locals said it back then. Dad ended up buying weekend property to raise cattle in Ben Hur; so, for a number of years, I was in and around Mexia, Groesbeck, and Mart. Love seeing mention of Cynthia Ann and Quanah -- and now Cindy -- but NOT the crappy stripper.
