My dad did so much to make Austin what it is today! The City of Austin officially claimed today as Joe Gracey day, on his birthday, November 14th!
He was always a king of cool - As a teenager my dad played with @tboneburnettofficial & Steven Bruton. He went on to be crowned by @billboard magazine as KOKE-FM DJ Trendsetter of the Year,” then the first talent coordinator for @acltv as well as the the first rock music column for the @statesman Austin American-Statesman.
He was known for playing diversity on the radio in the 70s, flowing seamlessly from cosmic country to conjunto, introducing music lovers to Flaco Jimenez, Freddie Fender, Bob Wills, to @dougsahm , to @willienelsonofficial etc etc etc etc.
I hope today you’ll take a sec to listen to some local music, to appreciate the stunning city that is Austin, Tx, and to enjoy a really good plate of enchiladas. We will always miss him and I am forever grateful that his stamp on this city still thrives today.
