No I didn't know that and I'll bet you can't prove it. If Henry Cisneros is Spanish for Bill Clinton then groanup is Portugese for Elvis Presley. I actually went to Lukenbach during the fever of the song. It actually exists and it was nothing more than a post offic and a bar. But that didn't matter to the myriad people who flocked there. It was a trip, it was literally in the middle of nowhere and it was neat. The song made it a legend and when I went there, the guitar players and the groupies were everywhere.
Marge, the fierce-looking German-American lady who was the Postmaster, Mayor, Sheriff, J.P., and Bartender, sadly died last year.
There is just something about Lukenbach isn't there? We live 35 - 45 minutes from there. Haven't been in a while but it IS a lot of fun on a pretty weekend afternoon...
I heard once when I was there that Waylon had never been - and until a few years ago Willie had only been maybe once. Then he got on a kick having his 4th of July picnic there. He doesn't anymore tho'..
For years the "sheriff" was Marge... a tough kinda cookie who truly had a heart of gold. She passed away a year or so ago.
