Texas, our Texas---as seen through the eyes and skill of Wyman Meinzer, the photographer.

At the end of a bad day, this video always picks me up, thanks Doug (RIP) and Wyman...

[@marcoshinojos4316]

Love this video. RIP Doug Smith. You were a phenomenal musician. I was fortunate enough to know Doug. I remember he always sat beside our bench during basketball games to watch his son and cheer on us Buffaloes from the small town of Petersburg, Texas.

My all time favorite!

[@sharilgreer]

Texas our Texas, indeed!! All Hail the Mighty State! Beautiful pictures and fabulous music. Makes me so proud to call Texas home.

[@Lpmgato1]

The photos and music are amazing. Wish this was in HD resolution for increased clarity. I lived in West Texas, and still reside on a farm in rural North Central Texas. This is remarkably accurate.

Why I love TEXAS

[@BettyTampaBay]

love the music and the pictures...I use to live in West Texas.

[@shaudee67]

My dad sent this to me today in an email. Wow!!! It's so beautiful it literally made tears come to my eyes. The pictures were gorgeous, the music was beautiful and the men are those who have not forgotten what it is to be REAL men! This was excellent. Wow. Unbelievable. Wow!

[@GAW786]

Wonderful! I love it. I love Texas. My Mother and Sister Graves are in Texas.

...i used to live where some of these pics were taken......i miss it, still....and i knew Doug before he was hurt.......i am so glad he is "back"........

This video reminds me of home and life during much simpler times. I can smell the dust and pollen in some of the scenes. The album "Hope" by Doug Smith (which contains the song "West Texas") is a favorite. The photos capture some of the essence of the great state of Texas! Living in Washington state now, there are few people here who can understand the attraction Texas has to those who were born and raised there. No one here says they are Washitonians which much pride.

Thanks Wyman

Fantastic Music and great pictures! Greetings from Mainz, Germany

[@acfalk3]

For those of us who strive to produce good slide shows of wildlife, landscapes and art, this video sets a standard that will be difficult to surpass. It is 4 min and 44 seconds of great beauty...especially for we Texans. AC Falk

Doug is in fact still playing!!! He just recently put out an album this year and it is available on iTunes along with most of his music. Doug Smith is an AMAZING guy! He has not let his accident stop him or his love for music! Go check out "Smitty Blues" on iTunes and stop by his website to show him some support! Doug is the reason I love music as much as I do! I loved watching him play growing up, him and his family are very near and dear to my heart! Go check out all his music on iTunes!

[@anthonyflannery222]

This is one of the most amazing/beautiful/unique/powerful pieces of music I have ever heard in my life. Wow. So sad that the man playing the music has been paralyzed and can no longer play music. His name is Doug Smith, and I am amazed by his talent. This video is very nice too. I could watch/listen to this over and over and over. Wow. If you see this Doug...you are in my prayers, and I will always be a fan of your music.

[@Pedy1968]

Wonderful video!

[@LissieMac]

Some of the snow scenes remind me of my childhood in Ozona. Roundups with my Dad and family.......I always had to ride drag. Eating dust became my way of life growing up. Couldn't ask for a better way to grow up in Texas!

[@shaudee67]

I did a youtube search after writing the comment I did to you and already found "Virtual Rehab". Amazing! What a story. What a come back! I'll look for the live album. Thanks for the tip!

[@shaudee67]

This is a great comment. I am a new fan, in fact as of today. This music is really beautiful.

[@raiderred4846]

The GIANT side of Texas.

[@ThatKyGirl1]

Beautiful video beautiful pictures!

[@kellilayton9384]

I love seeing Doug's fan base grow! Knowing the stories that I do behind his music, why he wrote certain songs and actually being around while he worked on new stuff is something I will carry with me always. All of Doug's music is amazing and I recommend listening to EVERYTHING! But if you are easing in to Doug's world start with his LIVE album, HOPE and Confirmation. Also, search for Virtual Rehab-Doug Smith here on KZbin.
