Western swing, sometimes referred to as the North Texas-born love child of rural Americana and urban cosmopolitanism, became a sensation -- especially in the Southwest -- in the '30s and '40s with such acts as Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys and the Light Crust Doughboys. Long-running acts like the Doughboys and Austin's Asleep at the Wheel are still today's standard-bearers of Western Swing. A declaration by the Texas Legislature on June 17, 2011, which adopted Western swing as the state's official music gave new legitimacy to this American music style that often has been caught between genres. For more information on the Light Crust Doughboys, check out their videos on YouTube! Here is a link to their newest video, produced their newest member, Marek Eneti Leszczynski: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XX-GFpBInI) This is a story about a band and its members that reads like The original Light Crust Dough Boys in 1931, from left: a classic American novel, and contains all the poignant Herman Arnspiger, Bob Wills, Milton Brown, Truett Kemsey, elements that demand the eventual telling of the tale in some Borris Mills (official), W.
