She told me she loved what my then-business partner and I were doing with the Round Top Register (we’d had it about a year) and that she wanted to write for the 10 publication some day. Well, some day never happened. Beginning with the January 2021 issue, however, Holly will be a new partner. 95 CANDELA BOOT How’d That Happen? COMPANY About eight weeks ago I had breakfast at Orsak’s in Fayetteville with Jim Kastleman. Like Holly, he’s an owner of PaperCity. Over eggs and coffee, we shared the challenges and opportunities that come with being a publisher. As the discussion continued, we discovered PaperCity had the tools and knowledge to do a bunch of things I couldn’t do. And PaperCity, which has done a Round Top section in its Houston edition for several years, wanted a bigger presence in the Roundtopolis™. The brainstorming caught fire… The result? Holly, digital guru Chad Miller, Jim and I are now partners in Round Top Publishers, Inc. 90 What This Means I will remain as an owner and publisher of the magazines, focusing on business development. Holly takes over editorial, Chad takes over digital – including social media, the website and the app, and Jim will manage the overall business. (That means I never have to figure out QuickBooks ever again, I hope.) I’m very excited to get to work with this talented bunch of entrepreneurs – who have a special fondness for the Roundtopolis™. So watch out – here we come. I am excited about the 111 opportunities – for the business and our readers. See pages 16-18 for more details. Back to Your Regularly Scheduled Programming In this issue, we are focusing on cowboys (and no diss to the cowgirls out there – find stories on world champion barrel racer Taylor Jacob and barbecue queen Tootsie Tomanetz, who has her own herd of cattle. Both stories are on roundtop. com.) From horse-shoeing to boot-making and dancing to day-working…and a little barbecue thrown in, meet some of our cowboy neighbors. 77 Let’s get ready for a great 2021! 87 - Katie 7 ROUND TOP REGISTER YOUR favorite BOTTLE SHOP IS OPEN NEAR YOU!

    ABSTRACT Beck Boots: the Story of Cowboy Boots in the Texas

    ABSTRACT Beck Boots: The Story of Cowboy Boots in the Texas Panhandle and Their Important Role in American Life Tye E. Barrett, M.A. Mentor: Douglas R. Ferdon Jr., Ph.D. Merton McLaughlin moved to the Texas Panhandle and began making cowboy boots in the spring of 1882. Since that time, cowboy boots have been a part of the Texas Panhandle’s, and America’s rich history. In 1921, twin brothers Earl and Bearl Beck purchased McLaughlin’s boot shop. The Beck family has been making cowboy boots in the Texas Panhandle ever since. This thesis seeks not only to present a history of Beck Boots and cowboy boots in the Texas Panhandle, but also suggests that the relationship between bootmakers, like Beck Boots, and the working cowboy has been the center of success to the business of bootmakers and cowboys alike. Because many, like the Beck family, have nurtured this relationship, cowboy boots have become a central theme and important icon in American life.

FITCH explores the advent and influence of Sarg Records, a small independently owned label cultivated by WWII hero, Sgt. Charlie Fitch. With his unconventional approach to the recording industry, Fitch redefined Texas music in the 1950s by mixing ethnic styles and different genres to create entirely new ones. Although, Sarg played a significant role in launching some of today’s rock ‘n roll and country music legends, the label’s legacy arguably lies in the overlooked and undervalued treasures from its relatively unknown artists.

The collection contains 877 recordings, including LPs, 45 rpms, audio cassettes, compact discs, VHS cassettes, and DVDs. Included in the collection are recordings under Nelson’s leadership as well as recordings on which he is a guest musician, producer, or songwriter.
