Texas born, sure. Did a daily radio show live from Cain's Ballroom in Tulsa for years and years (1935-1942). So, adopted son. And Faded Love is the official state fiddle song of Oklahoma.Isn't Bob Wills a native Texan? I thought this thread was about Okies?
I know old Hank Thompson was not a native Okie but he sure performed here a lot.
(I got to see him twice before he passed away.)
Fun novelty song:
Roger miller was the best OK ever producedYou can't roller skate in a buffalo herd- Roger Miller
Oh, no doubt. My father in law was a Texas swing fan all his life, so we listened to Bob Wills all the time. I also remember my father telling me about how he got into a fight, kicked out of and lost his leather jacket (it was the 1950s, ya know) at the Cain's Ballroom at a Bob Wills concert. Did they call em 'concerts' back then?Texas born, sure. Did a daily radio show live from Cain's Ballroom in Tulsa for years and years (1935-1942). So, adopted son.
