I knew when I missed yesterday you guys were going to reward me with a lot of videos to watch, and that is exactly what I have been doing while my MIL shows Melissa all here pictures from birding in Chile'. Don't get me wrong...I love looking at thousands of pictures of food and people I will never meet....
OK. On with the show.
Ryan- Way Back Home. One I have not heard (in this incarnation), though I do have it by Bing (who I have a lot of as he was one of my dad's clients many years ago). I would say that in spite of it's western imagery...this is likely more "whitewashed" jazz than it is Western Swing, but you said "the owls are the hootiest" which made me laugh from the gut.
Wee- Rootie Tootie. And more importantly Pee Wee King, though the Hank Williams version is one of my favorite deeper Hank tracks (and we all know he I love Hank Williams). Sorry I missed this last round, I thought you had just posted the Hank Song. COme to find this is something entirely different, and interesting to hear. Nicely done sir.
And Slow Poke. This was the song that made me listen to Western Swing that was not Bob Wills. Love the slow poke remix of Slow Poke. Perfect mate, and an excellent bring.
Two Little Woodpeckers- Take Me Back To Tulsa. Well don't this just have it all? Two of my favorite folks throwing it all out there...mando? Bass? Artwork? This is a very special treat mate. Excellent rendition as always, and thanks for all the added enthusiasm. This has me dancing around the living room like a damn fool- thanks for bringing it guys!
Tootler-Honky Tonk Angels. Definitely more of a Honky Tonk tune right here...probably one of the most famous, but he did do a lot of WS. Nice rendition here Tootler- one everybody knows and hopefully they all played along as I did. Mouth trumpet an added treat for sure!
Probably included with WS because he ALWAYS had the outfits. That and his really early stuff (
like Humpty Dumpty Heart) are solid WS senders
Berni. Cold Taters- I am going to hazard to guess that you were the only person in Lagos that knew who Little Jimmy Dickens was. That makes me smile. Great tune here, and I think it is perfect with just the uke. Solid tune, well delivered mate. I promise next round I will let ya write all the songs you want.
My evil ways too came from cold taters.
AlanDP- You're From Texas. Another GREAT song from Cindy. Love this one, and if my mother in law could hear it in the living room she would blast it through the house in whatever key she landed on, because it is one of her favorite tunes, and that is just what Texans do. Was so excited when Texas made WS it's official music, and some day I will make Bob Wills days. Some day. Nice bring here and great work on it.
