Naked Roaches (Nacogdoches nickname)
The city of Nacogdoches is an old Texas city (it’s advertised as “the oldest town in Texas”) with a funny name. In 1912, a vaudeville-touring Groucho Marx declared that “Nacogdoches is full of roaches.”
The nickname “Naked roaches” (or “Nakedroaches”) has been used since at least 1992.

my only problem with that is that where i live there are virtually NO import type connections, and i can’t afford Goldmine or the drive to Bill’s in Dallas/Plano or Infinite Records in Houston ( i live in little ol’ Nacogdoches [or naca-nowhere, nasty-dog-cheese, naked-roaches]),
