I just heard this for the first time and it tickled me, this is the kind of music I grew up on.  When I hear it I can see the Chief and Betty Lou at the old Bostonia Ballroom in El Cajon, two-steppin' and whirlin' and goin through their moves...people would move to the side to watch and clap their hands.  I know a lot of you don't have a clue who Ernest Tubb is, but back when Country and Western was still called hillbilly music, a bunch of voices from Texas and the dusty plains north of there were singing what was called Western Swing...Bob Wills, Ernest Tubb, Hank Snow, Spade Cooley, and a bunch more...Yep.  And now I gotta go find some more.
