Blue Velvet
Eric Mendoza
A girl sits by a jukebox at a Dairy Queen in Austin, 1963. If you look closely and strain your ears you can hear "He's so Fine" by the Chiffons or "Blue Velvet" by Bobby Vinton in the background. A Larry McMurtry essay brought to life. It SCREAMS 1963 Texas. @DairyQueen https://t.co/8bpEbmlsIi
