The Texas Musicians Museum's booth at the Crossroads Guitar Show in June attracted crowds of visitors wowed by the artifacts, including a custom made replica of Stevie Ray Vaughan's Number 1 guitar (left).  

Other items on display include a stage worn outfit of Barbara Mandell's and a early 1960's Barbara Mandrell show poster from a performance in Mercedes, Texas; Buddy Holly's sixth grade annual with an extremely rare signature using the "Holley" spelling of his last name; a Bob Wills & The Texas Playboys 1940's Buckholts, Texas show poster and a vintage 1940's photo signed by the entire band.

Also on display was Janis Joplin's high school yearbook and a very rare Vulcan Gas Company poster featuring Janis Joplin with Big Brother and the Holding Company at an Austin, Texas show. The museum also displayed just a very small fraction of its large record award collection.
