craigb Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Funny how that works! A good friend of mine that I met the first week after I moved from Southern California to Vancouver Washington (18 years ago) turned out to have worked in the unmarked building across the street from the unmarked building I worked in. We used to both go to the same restaurant down the street for meetings, yet we never met until we had both moved well over 1,000 miles away! Back in the 80's, I worked with a Vietnamese programmer named James who had the office next to mine and an older guy who had his office right across the hall. Turns out that during the Vietnam war, the older guy used to protect the back entrance to hospital where a handful of kids would play. Yep, one of those kids was James!

Notes_Norton Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 One of the blessings of making aftermarket fake e-disks for Band-in-a-Box is discovering new songs. Working on one of the Real Jazz books, I came across a song called Ragtime Cowboy Joe. It's in a jazz book, but it's actually Western Swing, which was a mixture of country and jazz genres. I don't listen to Western Swing much, but should listen to it more. Here is a contemporary band doing it. The musicianship is excellent, there is an element of fun, and I liked it, so I'm sharing.

Ragtime Cowboy Joe - The Swing Commanders My grandmother Irene Hollingsworth used to play at the Redondo Barn. A country swing venue in Redondo Beach, California, back in the 40’s and 50’s. I’ve got the guitar she had used at the time. Family legend has it that it was given to her by Tex Williams. I’m not sure how accurate that was as the owner of the Redondo Barn went by Texas Jim Lewis. But my Dad swore it was Tex Williams. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notes_Norton Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Doing a jazz e-disk based on one of The Real Book volumes for Band-in-a-Box, Mrs. Notes ran across this. It's an America song, one we learned because a good customer requested it. The lyrics don't make much sense to me, it's not challenging to play, but it's a pleasant enough song. IMO, This is a better cover than the original. The lead singer of this band takes some nice vocal twists and turns, especially later in the track, and some of them delighted me, so I thought I'd share.
