  • This seems to be the best version on YT of San Antonio Rose by Bob Wills and anyone else for that matter. Good song!

  • 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.

  • Excuse me ! B u r Wrong!!! This song is indicitive of the spirit of San Antonio TX!

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

  • 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.

  • Thanks for another wonderful post! You rock!

  • 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.

  • Hit it Leon :-)
