KK Jale Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Nice! I think I know it from this old Timejumpers video. Always good to hear the late great John Hughey, this time on the C6 neck... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PTB Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Great to see a Western Swing thread! My wife & I had a band doing this style 10+ years ago - The Red Jumps. This has brought back some happy memories. AATW rarely play the UK but are favorites of Mrs PTB. I managed to get front row seats at Nells in West London on our 30th wedding anniversary!

dclaassen Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Love AATW and western swing! I saw them twice in Dallas years ago. Wish there was a way to perform this amazing music here.., 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to admit starting the thread was on a subversive whim ( read the title) given I had a quasi- political thread locked a few days before! However glad to bring a different kind of music to the attention of others.😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish there was a way to perform this amazing music here.., Tell me about it. I love Western Swing, too. Fiddle used to be my main instrument. I was fortunate enough to get the call to play for Herb Remington when he visited the UK many years ago - did a few dates and a Radio 2 session. I was a little nervous, to put it mildly. His fiddler back home at the time was Johnny Gimble. I tried on several occasions to get a Western Swing band going here. The problem is that you need serious chops to do it right and those who have them aren't interested - Western Swing seems to be viewed here as being hokey and a bit naff. Which it most certainly isn't. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
