Gindust – Joe Stephenson

There’s not much to do around the cotton fields of West Texas but practice or plow. Joe Stephenson chose to practice. He literally cut his teeth on a fiddle scroll while his dad Nathan “piped the tunes” into his head, And drawing a bow instead of a plowshare Joe Stephenson took Texas tradition beyond the West Texas horizon into a clear cloud of Gindust.
