    Wherever they've found fiddlers and dance floors, Texans have been tickled into motion. And for a century and a half they've been kicking up dust in dance halls across the state. Gail Folkins celebrates how these halls still bring people together and foster joy. Her creative nonfiction book, Texas Dance Halls: A Two-Step Circuit, was released in September 2007 by Texas Tech University Press.  Austin-based Dobro and steel guitarist Cindy Cashdollar's career has taken some surprising twists and turns that have led her to work with many of the leading artists in contemporary music.
