“The Faces counts as a two-fer: Bassist/songwriter Ronnie Lane moved here in the ’80s and stayed here for almost ten years before moving to Arizona. And just before Ronnie left, keyboardist Ian McLagen moved to Manor and stayed there for the rest of his life.”
Bruce Burns
“Iron and Wine – ‘Boy With a Coin’. Sam used to live in Dripping Springs.”
