I had the chance to play with The Playboys a few years ago. I play fiddle, guitar, piano and steel guitar. It was neededless to say a highlight in my life. Especially playing with Leon Rausch, Bobby Boatwright, Tommy Alsup, and Johnny Gimble. The only reason was some kind of flu had taken hold of a few of the other Playboys, and the fact that I am a Great-Newphew of one of the guys. It was really great, I'll never forget it. Wish there would be a resugance of Western Swing ya can dancwe to.
What I enjoy about these lyrics is the freedom with which the words caper up and down. With my wretched knowledge of the pedal steel I cannot tell whether Mr Remington's solo is improvised or not, in part probably not, as I should think he had already plucked the short excerpt from the Bridal March from his hat full of well-deserved feathers. It speaks of enthusiasm and is executed without any apparent effort, except his vast experience as a PSG reference. It's "joyful", that's what it is. Tim.
wasn't that Leon Rausch singing? whoever, that was a great representation for the greatest western swing band of all time.....Spade Cooley liked to call himself the "king of western swing" but he was just a pretender!
