My favorite thing at The Wittliff is a handful of musical scores handwritten by Cenobio Hernandez, a silent film era orchestra musician, whose waltzes and polkas for his granddaughters are a window to the sounds of San Antonio in the 1940s.

My favorite thing in The Wittliff is Willie Nelson’s first songbook. I mean, the guy had written a song called “Hangover Blues" by the time he was 12! That’s serious business!
