@okcthunder151 Do you work at Langston's?

[EnerG15]

I have this song on an old Edison cylinder record! You can watch it on my channel!

[CowboyJimG]

I enjoyed listening to your Edison cylinder record. Thanks for sharing that with me. It reminded me of a John Philip Sousa march.

Very excellent rendition of Red Wing, although in a very upbeat and modern portrayal. I would love to see these guys do this in the traditional way.

[CowboyJimG]

Interesting comment. Don't guess we know the "traditional" way. Can you point us to someone doing it traditionally? We've been playing Texas swing together off-and-on for approximately 25 yrs., so-o-o-o we "swing" it.

[okcthunder151]

I did for 5 years. I don't anymore.

[XynergySF]

These guys are freaking amazing.

[fiddlebelle]

Wow i'm bouncin in my seat. I love to play this song but never heard it swingin like that. love to see that live. if you ever get to the great northwest give us a shout so we can come jam.

What a beautiful swing version of this tune! Just great! This tune is way over 100 years old and I have heard it in England and Australia, mostly played pretty straight with not much swing, but the terrific Texas Oklahoma sound really brings it alive. :-)

Dam good fiddler. Never heard of him before. Very nice straight eighths.

[bcst9]

Very nice playing. Interesting that the bass player is left handed but playing a bass that is strung for a righty. What a good bass line you have there sir!
