I dig Roos/Harpers "Make Room For the Blues" and the line "<em>take her picture from the wall, LET IT FALL, LET IT FALL!!!"<br /></em><a href="http://www.bobbyflores.com/">www<em>.</em>bobbyflores.com</a> and <a href="http://www.yellowroserecords.com/">http://www.yellowroserecords.com/</a>.<br />*** If you´re looking for some real swingin´ stuff, <span style="color:#000099;">Buddy Emmons & Ray</span> <span style="color:#3333ff;">Pennington</span> have what you want: their Swinging Series on Step One Records with Swing Shift Band´s "We´re Steel Swingin´" and tracks like "Midnight In Old Amarillo", "Let Me Swing", "Fat Boy Rag" etc. sure will satisfy a Western Swing soul...<br />*** My favorite Austin steel man <span style="color:#000099;">Herb Steiner & The Retrobillies </span><span style="color:#000000;">have 3 great albums/CDs available: "Texas Bandstand Favorites", "Texas Dance Time" and "Rancho Rhythm Roundup" - for more informations visit his <a href="http://www.herbsteinermusic.com/">http://www.herbsteinermusic.com/</a> and you´ll be all smiles...<br />*** Western Swing records from Schaffhouse-sur-Zorn in France! Yeah, the Enchanted Steel Guitar of Lionel Wendling, "Western Swing" on the Lonestar LP 06001 plus "Full Time Job" CPM 012 and "Lionel Wendling & The Honky Cats Sings & Steels" Lonestar LP 05002 are CDs well worth to take a closer look at. <a href="http://www.lonestar-production.com/">http://www.lonestar-production.com/</a></span><br /><span style="color:#000000;">*** Talking about Steel Guitar - the name is <span style="color:#000099;">TOMMY MORRELL</span>! Tommy & The Time-Warp Tophands and his "How The West Was Swung" are music that just gotta be in everybody´s music collection. Do visit Praguefrank´s Country Music Discography for info on all Tommy´s CDs - <a href="http://www.countrydiscography.blogspot.com/">http://www.countrydiscography.blogspot.com/</a></span><br /><span style="color:#000000;">***A new swingband with the modest name <span style="color:#3333ff;">Western Swing Authority<br /></span><span style="color:#000000;">has </span></span>what it takes - the CD opens from Bob Wills with a lively "Stay All Night" and among the other ten tracks you´ll be amazed over "Leaving And Saying Goodbye" (Jeannie Seely, rise and shine, you wrote one of the best country songs ever!) also Mickey Newbury´s "Sweet Memories" is<br />topnotch. If you can´t find the CD in your record shop, contact the band at this address: The Western Swing Authority, 315 Arlene Pl., Waterloo ON, Canada N2J 2G5 - you´ll be glad you did!<br />*** Bear Family Records came with "You Oughta See My Fanny Dance" - over 80 minutes of previously unreleased Western Swing. Unissued track from Ocie Stockard & His Wanderers "I´ll Forget You By and By" also one Bob Wills track, "La Paloma" (24 Feb.1941 WBAP Studios, Ft. Worth, TX.) with the big band, 3 trumpets (incl.Tubby Lewis!), 4 saxophones & clarinettes, plus Eldon Shamblin, Son Lansford, Gene Tomlin, Al Stricklin. The Western Swing Guru Kevin Coffey tells about the bands on the 50-paged booklet. <a href="http://www.bear-family.com/">http://www.bear-family.com/</a>.<br />***Bear Family has also produced Hank Williams "The Legend Begins",<br />3 CDs & booklet, Rare & Unreleased Recordings incl. "The Health & Happiness Shows, Part 1 & 2", Hank´s first-ever recordings from 1938, "Fan It" and "Alexander´s Ragtime Band" (with Pee Wee Moultrie) and from 1940 "Freight Train Blues", "New San Antonio Rose", "St. Louis Blues" and "Greenback Dollar". Also The March of Dimes Show for broadcast January 15-31, 1951 "Lovesick Blues", "Moanin´ The Blues" a.o.

The mule got sick and they laid him on the beam. </em></strong>That was just a fun saying by Bob and he knew what he was talking about. The beam was the part of the plow to which the mule was hitched. It was usually a piece of heavy iron that was bow shaped with the plow attached underneath the beam. The mule pulled the plow by being hooked to the beam by a single tree or a double tree if two mules were hitched to the plow. That was just a fun saying by Bob that when the mule got sick he simply laid down on the job.<br /><strong><em>Plowing my corn with a double shovel - </em></strong>the shovel was simply a plow what has two small beams to which a small plow was bolted to each beam, some folks did refer to them as a shovel. </span><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">In another of Bob´s songs he said: <strong><em>don´t go down to chop he cotton without bringing your file. </em></strong>The file was used to sharpen the hoe after using it for a while in the field. Another of his comments mentioned a nine ft. cotton sack. The cotton picker when picking cotton by hand would put the strap of the sack around his neck and shoulder and drag it down the row of cotton. In fact one of his songs mentioned <em>My back would nearly break from pulling that weight.</em></span><br /><em><span style="font-size:78%;"></span></em><br /><strong><em><span style="font-size:78%;">PRESTO TRANSCRIPTIONS</span></em></strong><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">Between january and march 1949 began the "Presto Transcriptions" for the Crosley Automobile Company. Very little is known about this transaction because there are no existing records or documents of any kind. The personnel were<strong>.
