The start of the spring in
the Northern Hemisphere is
indicated by vernal equinox
which occurs on March
20 or 21. Conversely the
Southern Hemisphere sees it
as the beginning of autumn. A
known myth about the vernal
equinox is that the day and
the night hours are exactly 12,
but generally doesn’t happen
that way. An interesting
fact about the first day of
autumn is that one can see
the sun go directly overhead.
Another surprising fact is
that it is only during both the
equinoxes that the sun sets
due west and rises from the
east. Spring for most of the
people signifies the hope and
search for new meaning in
life.

Billy Cate presents his first recording to museum curator,
Sandy Sims. The recording will be a part of a museum exhibit
__________honoring musicians from Johnson County.
' 'he way I see it...
Linda Burt Wallace
As an appointee to the Johnson County Historical Commission I enjoy
volunteering at the museum and working with fellow volunteers Sandy
Sims, Wilma Reed, Sherrie Graf, Mary Norris, Vivian Wright, Pat
Dexheimer and Rachel Watkins. I enjoy visiting with historian/author Jack
Carlton, as well as writer Pete Kendall when they drop by the museum
from time to time.
Anew exhibit, currently under construction, will recognize musicians
and artists from Johnson County and will be on display for the next 4 to
6 months. The exhibit will highlight the careers of John Richard Rose, a
Cleburne resident who wrote “The Cleburne Rose,” and the legendary Al
Stricklin, dubbed “the old piano pounder” who played for years with Bob
Wills and the Texas Playboys. Also featured is the ever popular Harvey
Anderson, a music icon who might perform locally for Cleburne High
School and the next week perform in Hollywood with some of the greatest
names in the music industry. We will also recognize a tiny spit-fire of a girl
named Javonne Braga who performed at a young age with her sister, Vicki
Braga, before going solo as Becky Sharp and later in a duo as Jon and
Robin. Billy Cate rounds out our first group of honorees at the Johnson
County Historical museum.
The idea of the musicians display came about after finding a 45 rpm vinyl
record by Billy Cate recorded in the early ‘60s offered for sale on eBay.
Casually mentioning to Jack Carlton that I had purchased the recording,
brought about his suggestion that we honor our local musicians. With the
approval of curator, Sandy Sims, we were off and running with the idea.
I had the privilege of meeting with singer/songwriter Billy Cate from
Cleburne, who has carved a niche for himself by continuing to perform
the old western-style standards first made famous by the likes of Slim
Whitman, Roy Rogers and Gene Autry. Cate was happy to be reunited
with the record he cut on the Manco label so long ago in Fort Worth titled,
Living Dream. There was a special Cleburne connection involved with
the recording of Living Dream as well-known musician Harvey Anderson
played saxophone and clarinet on the recording.
Showing Cate the vintage recording, the first song he had written and
recorded, conjured up all kinds of memories of his early career in the
music business. During the late ‘50s his first gig was in Fort Worth at
the Green Door. He reminisced about performing at many teen canteens
such as Lake Worth’s Casino Beach, a popular hot spot from the ‘20s to
the mid ‘60s. The building was tom down in 1971. “I played the Pioneer
Palace with Johnny Carroll of Godley for a couple of weeks,” remarked
Cate. “Johnny was well known as a performer in the ‘50s and ‘60s.”
Pioneer Palace in Fort Worth was a bar and dance hall with a western
theme. Cate recalled performing at the Moose Club, also in Fort Worth,
which had a convertible roof over the dance floor and patrons could enjoy
dancing under the stars. He has fond memories of backing Chuck Berry at
Luanne's in Dallas.
“The first night club I ever played that had chicken wire between the stage
and the dance floor was the Blue Note on the Jacksboro Highway. It was
owned by a guy they called “Big Money” who drove around Fort Worth in
a new Cadillac convertible”, Cate laughingly remembered.
Cate, known in many circles as the Chisholm Trail cowboy, continues to
