Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys perform a rather hammy version of "Stay a Little Longer." From the DVD "Legends of Western Swing Guitar." More info at stefan-grossma...

Dang, we're near the end of 2023 and Bob Wills is still the King. There was a recording engineer who told Bob that he should get rid of all the talking and the background yodeling (from Bob) out of the record. The feller was fired in a minute! Go Bob. Karl

A few years ago, I was walking in my neighborhood in Chico, CA and got to talking to an elderly women. She told me a story about how her father got a chance to fiddle with Bob Wills at a local dance. Later, looking through old newspapers, I came across an advertisement that Bob and His Texas Playboys (America's Most Versatile Dance Band) would be in town and playing at the local Veterans Memorial Building. The year was 1945. Moral of this story, stop and visit with the old folks they may just have a few good memories to share.

This is absolutely amazing! Such great childhood memories listening to this band. When I was 21 years I actually had the opportunity to sit and have a beer with Leon Rausch at the the Chip in bar in Rendon TX. I requested and he had the band do Milk Cow Blues for me even though they had planned it for the finale'. He autographed a dollar bill for me but unfortunately it's been lost to time. One of the best memories of my life.

I realize now that I was a lucky lad growing up in the 70s. My dad had a reel to reel tape player and he had all this music which was rare because up here in Alberta in the 70s very few of our local radio stations played much of this music which I thought strange as it is really is some of the very best. Lots of people would come over to our house to hear dad's music and the local Black Knight tavern even had dad bring in his tape player and get 'em dancing pretty quick on weekends. Oh and him and his buddies would get together and play this music and they were good, I especially liked old May Shaw and her fiddle and she'd be just as drunk as everyone else yet she'd be the one to follow, she'd do a quick tune by ear and start playing and soon everyone who could, was playing along with her.
