Alexander, David “Black Ivory King” Sadly, very little is known about David Alexander, who performed under the name “Black Ivory King.” Only four recordings made by Alexander are known to exist. One of them, “The Flying Crow” is a blues classic that celebrates the rail line from Shreveport to Port Arthur, Texas, that Alexander frequently travelled. His birth date is listed as 1910, and it is presumed he was born in the Shreveport or greater Arklatex area, but there is no definite evidence. Huddie “Lead Belly” Ledbetter cited Black Ivory King as a musician who had influenced him when he heard him in Shreveport, possibly as early as 1906. Alexander’s four recordings were made at a session in Dallas, Texas in 1937. The late Omar Sharriff, who was born David Alexander Elam in Shreveport in 1938, reported that his mother, Susy Hill Elam, told him that he had been named after his father’s good friend, David Alexander, who was a Shreveport piano player – clearly Dave “Black Ivory King” Alexander.

The impressiveimpressive four-storyfour-story museum,museum, located at the corner of Congress Avenue and Martin Luther King, Jr., Boulevard in Austin, includes 34,000 square feet of exhibit space, along with a 200-seat “Spirit of Texas” performance theater and a 400-seat IMAX theater. Although individual exhibit areas emphasize particular themes in Texas history, the collective focus of the museum is on telling “the Story of Texas” by celebrating the richly diverse traditions of the state and the many people who have made it their home over the past several centuries.

The sales of so-called “cowboy,” “hillbilly,” and “ethnic” recordings in the 1920s and 1930s, much of which came out of Texas, were very important in helping bankroll the growth of the recording in- dustry in America. At the time, the recording com- panies considered the audience for “popular” music to be “lower-class,” but it was certainly a larger and more profitable market than that for clas- sical and operatic music recordings, and it remains so today.

  • Texas Musical Journey
    TTeexxaass:: AA MMuussiiccaall JJoouurrnneeyy Dear Texas History Lover, Texas has a special place in history and in the minds of people throughout the world. It has a mystique that no other state and few foreign countries have ever equaled. Texas also has the distinction of being the only state in America that was an independent country for almost 10 years, free and separate, recognized as a sovereign government by the United States, France, and England. The pride and confidence of Texans started in those years, and the "Lone Star" emblem, a symbol of those feelings, was developed through the adventures and sacrifices of those that came before us. This rich history is also reflected in the music of Texas, which presents itself as vast and diverse as the Lone Star State’s landscape. The Texas State Historical Association’s Handbook of Texas—a multidisciplinary online encyclopedia of Texas history, geography, and culture—has explored this musical voice through two print volumes—The Handbook of Texas Music (2003) and The Handbook of Texas Music, Second Edition (2012), published in partnership with the Texas Music Office (Office of the Governor) and the Center for Texas Music History (Texas State University). We are proud to announce the launch of the Handbook of Texas Music Online which will carry on scholarship on the many facets of music in Texas. With almost 900 entries and counting, along with hundreds of illustrations and audio samples, the Handbook of Texas Music Online invites readers to explore their own musical journeys through the musicians, festivals, businesses, ensembles, organizations and more that have helped define the state’s identity.
