I was lucky enough to know Leon's wife, Lucille McAuliffe, she was a realtor in Tulsa and I helped her with her closings back in the day. God bless her sweet soul!

My dad played electric bass for the Leon McCauliffe band. This style of music is called Texas Swing if anyone is interested.

[@geofredotappan9777]

Twin fiddles and a steel guitar. Perfect.

[@barbarakaminski1695]

In Texas use to go see them at VFW in Navasota, Tx Every one was on the floor 🤠

[@simonfarrell2537]

Yes, Texas Swing, or Western Swing, or Cowboy Jazz.. there would often be 3 fiddles (as in Spade Cooley's band) .. by the late 50's the style was for smaller 'combos', but there is no mistaking the influence this music had on the rockabilly music that followed ... wonderful stuff :) .. and lots of people are interested lol ..

[@stormyzeller2524]

Yes! Yes it was called Texas Swing, but it sounded real good at Cain's ballroom in Tulsa Ok.

[@geofredotappan9777]

Love it, love it, love it! Twin fiddles and a steel guitar, to boot.

One of the first slide riffs I learned on the Dobro. Some great licks here. Now I know the whole arrangement. Thanks so much for posting this.

Thank you fallout 76. Kick off leon

[@creaketh]

This was in Fallout?

[@geofredotappan9777]

NOT a pedal steel guitar.

[@geofredotappan9777]

Many people just don't know the difference.

[@douglasjohnson4382]

If you kept the original aspect ratio we could see his hands.

[@bill-zy6dg]

Looks like ~ 1950s. Anyone know?

[@jkfan2005]

Town Hall Party was on L.A. TV (from nearby Compton) from 1952 to 1960. Eventually parts of it were aired nationally, and then there was a network version in the late 50s called "Ranch Party." It was heard on L.A. radio too.

[@G8GT364CI]

I would guess later 50's as the bassist had an electric Fender, they weren't real common until later on that decade.

Fallout 76 brought me here
