Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mr. Abraham Alexander for receiving the Stephen Bruton Award. Mr. Alexander grew up and began his career in Fort Worth. In remarkable fashion, his music career has soared, earning him national recognition and numerous accolades. The Stephen Bruton Award recognizes Mr. Alexander for his contribution to the film industry through his song ``Like a Bird'' in the film Sing Sing. As filmmaker and fellow Fort Worth native Taylor Sheridan described, Mr. Alexander is a ``dreamer who is living that dream.'' For eighteen years, the Lone Star Film Festival has brought together filmmakers, producers, and musicians from across the media and entertainment industry for its prestigious award show. With the reception of the Stephen Bruton Award, Mr. Alexander joins the ranks of celebrated musicians such as Willie Nelson, Clint Black, and Pat Green. On behalf of Texas' 12th Congressional District, I am honored to recognize Mr. Alexander's outstanding achievement in music. His success is an inspiration to the City of Fort Worth and our community. I extend my heartfelt congratulations to Mr. Alexander and look forward to seeing what he creates next. ____________________
