JAN 14 Saturday 1:30 - 10:00 pm
The 2nd Annual TOMMY DUNCAN CELEBRATION
The Hill County Fairgrounds in Hillsboro, Texas, Old Hwy 81
(next to the Hillsboro High School Football Stadium!)
A very special event celebrating the Voice of Western Swing, Tommy Duncan!
Career inspiration and hero for Billy Mata, Tommy Duncan is regarded as the inventor of the classic singing style
that made Western Swing the enduring music it is today. Last year was Tommy Duncan's (posthumous) 100th Birthday.
A grand celebration was held in Whitney, Texas, Tommy's home town. Billy Mata & the Texas Tradition were joined by
Tommy's brother, Glynn Duncan and a host of musicians and dignitaries to honor the occasion with a concert
like no other.
Anyone who attended will tell you the experience was magic.
We're doing it again in 2012 - this time in nearby Hillsboro, Texas, just a few miles down the road from Whitney.
The venue will be larger and there will be even more music and mayhem and a catered dinner, all led by
Master of Ceremonies, Larry Scott.
Two Big Shows! Here's the line up:
1:30 - 4:30 JODY NIX and the TEXAS COWBOYS
4:30 - 6:30 CATERED DINNER
7:00 - 10:00 BILLY MATA & the TEXAS TRADITION
with FLOYD DOMINO and DAVE ALEXANDER
This year there will be RESERVED SEATING! Call now for tickets and
reservations.

MARTINEZ HALL, San Antonio, TX
Billy Mata & the Texas Tradition Hosts the 2nd Annual
Dance For A Difference Fundraiser for the
JUDSON HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA BOOSTERS
Texas Tradition fiddler, RICHARD HELSLEY explains:
"Billy Mata and The Texas Tradition have stepped up in a big way for the Judson Orchestra program by donating
proceeds from this regularly scheduled Martinez Social Club dance to assist with funding of the Judson Orchestra
Booster Organization. In addition to fine traditional country and western swing music by Billy and the boys there
will be a silent auction along with the sale of brisket and sausage wraps to add to the fund raising efforts. At this
point in time Billy and the Texas Tradition are our leading sponsor and I am thrilled that I was able to bring both
of my jobs together in this way."
"I take my job as Director of the Judson Orchestra Program with these high school students very personally and
have really created more of a family atmosphere in my program than simply a teacher/student relationship.
I made a promise to one of my fiddle instructors years ago that I would pass on my musical abilities to future
generations. This is the approach and motivation I take to teaching these students."
