That would perturb me and knock me off my mark if I was singing as beautiful as Tommy does and someone got in my face with Texas catcalls. But as someone commented it was Bobs true idea and convention . What would this tune be without Bobs playfulness in the recording and video .Long live Bob Wills!!!
@OleWatashi It may also interest you that the original melody Wills adapted for this song is actually called "Spanish Two-Step." Wills never hid the Mexican origins of this song - how wonderful that he paid tribute to traditional Mexican melodies while adding his own spin.
@OleWatashi We are both right, because much of San Antonio culture is an example of the wonderful mixing of Mexican and American traditions. This is called by many names - Borderlands culture among them.
I would love one of those wonderful cowgirl outfits. No wonder I wore a broad-brim red felt, white leather trim cowgirl hat when I was 3. I slept in it This music in the background of my childhood. Thanks Bob.
Tommy's vocal is superb. Bob still loves movin around the stage like a cat on a hot tin roof .. he can't stand still, & who can blame him .. he passionately loves the sound that he, largely, created.
This seems to be the best version on YT of San Antonio Rose by Bob Wills and anyone else for that matter. Good song!

Start the video at 1:02 and pretend Bob is just some random drunk guy who wandered on stage. It's fun.
