'East Texas Rag' featuring Suzy & Eric Thompson, Rich Hartness & W.B. Reid

"East Texas Rag" by the East Texas Serenaders, featuring Suzy & Eric Thompson, Rich Hartness & W.B. Reid at the Old Time Gathering in Portland. Western swing music is a subgenre of American country music that originated in the 1920s in the West and South among the region's Western string bands. According to legendary guitarist Merle Travis, "Western swing is nothing more than a group of talented country boys, unschooled in music, but playing the music they feel, beating a solid two-four rhythm to the harmonies that buzz around their brains. When it escapes in all its musical glory, my friend, you have Western swing." (Wikipedia). Video courtesy of MusicBox Project.
