Will Rambeaux - At the Key West Songwriters Festival

Will Rambeaux started his musical career in Lafayette, Louisiana. While on a trip to Nashville in 1984, he managed to get a tape to Roy Orbison. Mr Orbison took note of his talent and soon offered to bring Will to Nashville where his career has taken off as a writer and producer.
Will fronted his own southern roots rock band for years but hit paydirt with his first country cut in 1994. Recorded by Warner Brothers artist Faith Hill, “Wild One” went to #1 for four weeks and broke all records for a new female country artist. He followed that with a top 10 hit, “Nobody’s Gonna Rain on Our Parade”, recorded by Kathy Mattea and a #1 hit by John Michael with “How Was I To Know”, all receiving BMI “Most Performed Songs of the Year” and “Million Air” awards. One year later, John Michael Montgomery recorded “Hold On To Me” which also went #1. Shortly after, Patty Loveless recorded “Can’t Get Enough”, also a top 10 hit.
As of late, Will has been focusing his time on writer/artist Sherrie Austin, both co-writing and co-producing her first four CD’s: Words, Love In The Real World, Followin’ A Feelin’ and her latest ‘Streets Of Heaven’. This resulted in hit singles “Lucky in Love”, “Put Your Heart Into It”, and “Never Been Kissed”. “Never Been Kissed” staying in the #1 single sales position in Billboard for six weeks and was a #1 video on CMT.
Other artists that have cut Will’s song’s are: Trick Pony, Jo Dee Messina, Ronnie Milsap, Buddy Jewell, Dolly Parton, Lee Greenwood, Jolie Edwards, Tammy Cochran, Emilio, Evangeline, Zacka Creek, Rita Coolidge, Jules Shear and Jaime Kyle.

The Fruges in Bluebonnet Country!

TEXAS BLUEBONNETS -- TEXAS PRIDE
LORE OF THE BLUEBONNET- Bluebonnets have been loved since man first trod the vast prairies of Texas. Indians wove fascinating folk tales around them. The early-day Spanish priests gathered the seeds and grew them around their missions. This practice gave rise to the myth that the padres had brought the plant from Spain, but this cannot be true since the two predominant species of bluebonnets are found growing naturally only in Texas and at no other location in the world. As historian Jack Maguire so aptly wrote, "It's not only the state flower but also a kind of floral trademark almost as well known to outsiders as cowboy boots and the Stetson hat." He goes on to affirm that "The bluebonnet is to Texas what the shamrock is to Ireland, the cherry blossom to Japan, the lily to France, the rose to England and the tulip to Holland." The ballad of our singing governor, the late W. Lee O'Daniel, goes, "you may be on the plains or the mountains or down where the sea breezes blow, but bluebonnets are one of the prime factors that make the state the most beautiful land that we know.
