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.

She chronicles the life of Bob Wills from his humble beginnings as a farm boy through his rise to fame as one of the world's greatest fiddlers and band leaders. Sheldon was originally assigned to write a story on Wills for the Tulsa Tribune. Her boss told her to go investigate the man who gets a "thousand fan letters a week" due to the publicity generated from his radio shows and dance appearances (1).

  • “Amarillo by Morning” the Life and Songs of Terry Stafford 1
    In the early months of 1964, on their inaugural tour of North America, the Beatles seemed to be everywhere: appearing on The Ed Sullivan Show, making the front cover of Newsweek, and playing for fanatical crowds at sold out concerts in Washington, D.C. and New York City. On Billboard magazine’s April 4, 1964, Hot 100 2 list, the “Fab Four” held the top five positions. 28 One notch down at Number 6 was “Suspicion,” 29 by a virtually unknown singer from Amarillo, Texas, named Terry Stafford. The following week “Suspicion” – a song that sounded suspiciously like Elvis Presley using an alias – moved up to Number 3, wedged in between the Beatles’ “Twist and Shout” and “She Loves You.”3 The saga of how a Texas boy met the British Invasion head-on, achieving almost overnight success and a Top-10 hit, is one of triumph and “Amarillo By Morning” disappointment, a reminder of the vagaries The Life and Songs of Terry Stafford 1 that are a fact of life when pursuing a career in Joe W. Specht music. It is also the story of Stafford’s continuing development as a gifted songwriter, a fact too often overlooked when assessing his career. Terry Stafford publicity photo circa 1964.

In 1536 Cabeza de Vaca entered Mexico City after a harrowing journey that included six years in captivity among various indigenous groups. A survivor of the catastrophic Narvaez Expedition (1527) he returned with stories resulting in subsequent Spanish excursions searching for gold as well as rich descriptions of the natives and their way of life. The problem to arise from this was that de Vaca included valuable ethnographies of such groups in his account but he did not know where he was, making the identification of such groups difficult for modern scholars. In his dissertation, the late Alex D. Krieger utilized his personal knowledge of the geography and environment ofTexas to trace the route most likely traveled by de Vaca and his companions.

  • New San Antonio Rose”--Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys (1940) Added to the National Registry: 2003 Essay by Kevin Coffey (Guest Post)*
    “New San Antonio Rose”--Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys (1940) Added to the National Registry: 2003 Essay by Kevin Coffey (guest post)* Original label In November 1969, while orbiting the moon, Apollo 12 astronaut Pete Conrad played the classic “San Antonio Rose,” he claimed it was for his fellow astronaut, Fort Worth, Texas, native Alan Bean, to keep Bean from feeling too homesick. The song was actually more for Conrad’s own benefit--apparently Bean wasn’t interested or moved--but the incident nevertheless underscores the song’s status and enduring appeal. “San Antonio Rose”--or “New San Antonio Rose” to give the definitive 1940 version with lyrics its proper title--was three decades old when Conrad played it from outer space, but it had long since become a standard, not only in western music circles but also as a popular song as well. Its composition is credited to the legendary western swing bandleader and fiddler Bob Wills, who recorded it first as, an instrumental, in 1938, then again with added lyrics in 1940. While the song’s provenance is more complicated than that, there is no question that it is an enduring American classic. Texan James Robert “Bob” Wills (1905-1975) came from a family of fiddlers and began playing fiddle at age ten. He had first risen to prominence with Fort Worth’s Light Crust Doughboys, which he formed with vocalist Milton Brown in the winter of 1930-31. By 1934, he was in Tulsa, a fast rising regional star, leading his own Texas Playboys, playing a fascinating dance music hybrid of hillbilly, cowboy, jazz, blues, Latin and pop that he and Milton Brown pioneered and which would eventually be tagged Western Swing.

    Dear Blues Friends, There's been considerable growth in the public's interest in “alternative” genres/styles of music (blues, folk, bluegrass, old-timey, ethnic/world, etc.). I’m not going to try to analyze the phenomena, but I rejoice in it. When the consumer demands variety, the wise shopkeeper responds. Besides playing and listening to the music, I enjoy reading biographies, autobiographies, various blues related historical material, and watching blues on video. I would like to see a bigger 'catalog,' variety, and selection of blues related books, literature, periodicals, and videos in the bookstores. I'm frequently asked, “What books can I read to learn more about the music and the people of the Blues?” That’s a tough question, as there are many hundreds of titles. I don't have time to read everything that's available. I enjoy reading, but I’m no book reviewer. The purpose of this blues related book and video list is to give folks a 'taste' of the broad variety of blues related books, literature, and video that are available. The list is not "complete," and it's always growing. Even though the list is quite long, please take your time looking it over. I'm pretty sure you'll see a number of titles and subjects that will pique your interest. In some cases, the list includes the author(s) name(s), publishing company name(s) and city. Though many of the books/videos are only listed by the title and author(s), with that basic information, all you have to do is walk into, or call, your local book store and ask if you can place an order.

  • Western Swing MILK COW BLUES HOME in SAN ANTONE B
    Lesson 22: Western Swing MILK COW BLUES HOME IN SAN ANTONE b Lesson 22 Intro Western Swing is a big branch on the Texas Fiddling family tree. In Fiddle School, you’ve already learned many Western Swing songs: Goodbye Liza Jane, Corrina, Corrina, Tennessee Waltz, Red Wing, Tears on My Pillow, My Shoes Keep Walking Back to You, and Lily Dale. In this lesson we’re going to focus entirely on the Western Swing genre. This is one of my favorite fiddle genres because it encompasses a vast repertoire of jazz, classic country and, yes, breakdown fiddle tunes. We’ll cover the history and origins of Western Swing, discuss the who’s who of Western Swing fiddlers, and review some how-tos of the genre. From there, you can check out my recommended recordings and listen to my Favorite Western Swing Fiddlers playlist. To understand the sound of any genre and really feel at home in it, it’s important to listen to it a lot so you have a vision to aim for when you play the style yourself. Enjoy the listening tracks in this lesson and listen to them deeply and often. I’ll also give you two records you should add to your collection right off the bat: The Tiffany Transcriptions and For the Last Time are a couple of musts. We’re going to learn two standards of the Western Swing repertoire: Milk Cow Blues (with all of the classic licks) and Home in San Antone. In honor of Bob Wills Milton Brown, Cliff Bruner, and Jesse Ashlock, I’ll be teaching both of these as twin fiddle tunes.
