Bob Wills is still the king

Buscolor

There’s a new 10-disc set of the famous Western Swing outfit’s work, reviewed in Rolling Stone. And these MP3 clips. Play my favorite “San Antonio Rose.” They also have a web site. And see this profile of Wills’ famous onetime fiddler Johnny Gimble.

    You’re ahead of me, Tom. I’ve been to Turkey, lived there, in fact, but never to the Texas one.

  3. I have also been to Turkey. I have never lived there but I was persona non grata back in the 70’s.

    Pretty much all non-Muslims are non grata nowadays. Although it was already extremely intolerant of other religions when I lived there, in the early 60s.
