New Orleans

Due to Hurricane Katrina, a large number of New Orleans musicians could be relocated to Houston. This could be a major movement, similar to the Great Migration of southern blues artists up the Mississippi to Chicago and all points in between, c. 1914-1945. A richer, storied heritage combined with the progressive culture and entertainment dollars Houston offers. This could be big.

Houston and New Orleans have always shared a regional popular music tradition. Blues, rock, zydeco, soul, gospel, R&B. Mix in some Big Easy jazz and Texas conjunto. Hayail yayass!!!

B.O.I.

Acronym for "Born On Island." Used on the Texas Gulf coast, specifically the Houston-Galveston area. Refers to someone born in Galveston. Pronounced BEE-OH-EYE. Not to be confused with boi.

Brandon Backe, starting pitcher for the Houston Astros, is B.O.I. So is Barry White, although he grew up in Los Angeles.

Houston

First word heard from the moon. The nation's fourth largest city and home to the Texas Medical Center (the world's largest) and NASA's Johnson Space Center.

Few cities in the world can match H-Town as a source for blues and rap talent. Home of ZZ Top and Beyoncé.

One of the best places to live, work, play, eat, play music, hear music, do art, see art, get sick, get well, work out, hang out, and make a decent living doing whatever your heart says you were put on earth to do.

The U.S. economy can be up or down but there's always money to be made in Houston.

Houston

Houston, Texas is located 45 miles north of Galveston and the Gulf of Mexico. And high temperatures in the summer are usually in the mid-90s.

Dallas is 300 miles from the Gulf and hotter, and the people there are a whole lot less friendly.

What was the dude thinking who said Houston was 70 miles from Galveston and 120 degrees in the summer??
