Texas Tommy (1911, 1955); "Land of Tall Women and Virgin Pines" (East Texas)

[Bapopik at AOL.COM]

Maybe the Texans of this list have heard of the Piney Woods in East Texas
called the "Land of Tall Women and Virgin Pines." It may once have been "Land of
 Tall Pines and Virgin Women," but that was probably a long time ago.

...
The "Texas Tommy" dance was popular about 1911. Some sources give the
creator as Johnnie Peters and others as Charlie Peters.

Anybody have anything on "Texas Tommy" hot dogs?
...
Do DARE, OED, HDAS have anything for "Texas Tommy"? (Not the singing group
of "Texas Tommies.)
