    Moving in the right direction Hitcher, but what links Bowie and Crockett? How would that relate to Hendrix?

    Provided that the Bowie in question is James Bowie I was making the same connection... However, All Along the Watchtower was written by Dylan and is generally taken to be more of a contemporary timepiece describing the absurdity of the 60-70.

    There are however plenty of different Bowies.

    James Bowie is the right Bowie. So what status do both he and Crockett hold because of the events at the Alamo?

    Who else (still living) holds the same status (but for different reasons).

    The mystery person was highly rated by Hendrix (yes, Jimi) as a young man - what skill would we expect JH to be commenting on?

    That's probably far too many hints..

    Chuck Norris. He played the part of a Texas Ranger and instructed a young Jimi Hendrix in the ways of martial arts.

    Right answer, but no extra marks for the workings - ZZ Top are official "Texas Heroes" as are Bowie, Crockett et al. Billy Gibbons was described by Jimi as the best young guitarist in the country back in 1969.

    You got the Reverend bit though

    Well, I'm off to a seminar now. Someone else grab the reins

    Texas blues was still what got me in the right direction...
    I was struggling trying to find a music pioneer who is also a reverend. No luck until I stumbled upon Gibbons.

    Nope. Wrong nationality. Also he did not eschew the Monkees, or have the same name as a Monkee (whoops, may have slipped a clue in there somewhere)
