Sullivan, Ruth K.2010-04-142012-02-242009-011535-7104https://hdl.handle.net/10877/2719Shortly after the death of Austin-based musician and folklorist Tary Owens on September 21, 2003, Brad Buchholz, writing for the Austin American-Statesman, remarked that, "Tary Owens devoted most of his life to music, though only rarely to his own.
