[1] At the start of his career in the mid-1960s, Sanders' style of whimsical, individualistic songs made him a celebrated fixture on the Houston folk music scene.
[4] Soon, he was working and performing at Anderson Fair Retail Restaurant, Liberty Hall, Sand Mountain Coffee House, The Old Quarter, and a number of other venues around town.
It was in these places Sanders began to associate with peers such as Jerry Jeff Walker, Guy Clark, and the legendary Townes Van Zandt.
In 2010, Rock Romano aka Dr. Rockit, owner of Red Shack Studios, helped Sanders digitize many of his works recorded on vinyl into versions now available on large-scale streaming sites such as Spotify.
[3] His performances combine bilingual education (Spanish and English), social and historical connections, and language arts curriculum (folklore, story, rhyme).
