@CapnPicard ol Bob is still the king of western swing

Never heard these guys before. Pretty damned awesome.

mmmm yes sireee, they take the prize!

Bob's role?? Besides being fiddler-in-chief, he was the band-leader, writer, manager.... and boss!
-
@arlichar11 i kind of agree
-
Classic !! Bring back those moves by Bob !!

@arlichar11 Obviously kid you are NOT educated enough to figure it out...but a clue is "More than kids like toby keith could ever do"

Amazingly, in addition to Bob and the Playboys, Django and his boys, Oscar Aleman and his boys were all putting out this wonderful string/fiddle-based jazz at the same time in 3 very different places and cultures. Love it.

I noticed on the Anthology CD set that Bob's guitarist features a Martin acoustic--probably a D-42 or 45. Amazing!! Gibson had the market on country music cornered. Bob was truly an original--'test driving' Leo Fender's radical new solidbody guitars and Martins!! Fender and Martin making the best Texas Swing ever.

dig Junior's rhythm playing on the F-9 (the guitar, not the chord)- go Fat Boy!!
lol 1:07 did Bob Wills just do the moonwalk? Seriously: great music.

This is HARDCORE Western Swing! Noel Boggs on steel and Jesse Ashlock in black hat on fiddle. Jr. Barnard on guitar. One SUPER crew! Potna, Bob could do to a dance floor full of dancers what Michael Jackson did to his fans decades before Michael!
