Nice job Pete!

I find this style interesting because it brings blues, swing and country together. This is an old Bob Wills song originally written by Robert Johnson.

How about that fiddle? We need her back on another show. I’ve got some truly great singing from her that night doing straight up blues on fiddle. That’s Floyd Domino on piano.

There is a song that is entitled “A big Ball in Cowtown” which refers to either large testicles or a cowboy dance in Ft. Worth. Katie is from Fort Worth so I called off the song. Had to use my phone to look up the lyrics!

I should have a video of it shortly. Next month we swing all the way to Soul music. I envision musical whiplash.

Nice...I dig that old swing...crisp.


but...I didn't know you played a Danelectro.

A song about balls. Big balls.

I had to look up the words on my phone and try to sing like an old redneck. Nailed it.

I've heard the song since I was a kid and listen to Bob Wills as an adult but never attempted any of that material. I knew if I whipped it out - the players would nail it (bass man was in The Wheel for a while too...)

Next up when I get a chance - Roly Poly!

Eatin' corn and taters
hungry every minute of the day
Roly Poly gnawin' on a biscuit
'long as he can chew it, it's OK

Very enjoyable. I was doing great until I got to about 8:04 in and a picture is added which I think could be UD. Why would his picture be in Pete's video?

I don't know - the video is only 3 minutes long..?

It says “Defenistrator” which means “to eject from a window”. Very inside joke between Greg Koch and I. (It’s the name of one of his albums)

It’s a custom made tele with Fishman Fluence “Greg Koch Gristle Tone” signature pickups. It has a lithium battery that recharges via tiny USB port that lasts for 100 hours.

I had a laser etching dude pit paisley on the hardware. I did the finish in organic lacquer. It was assembled and set up by George Straits guitar tech.

I absolutely love it. There is a little button between the knobs. It’s a clean boost. The other great thing is I can turn down the volume and not lose any highs.

It sounds exactly the same but quieter. It also is dead quiet with vintage amp. (60 cycle hum is a huge problem with old amps.)

I have known Greg since the mid 80’s. Before he got somdamn famois, we performed around Milwaukee (Shank Hall!). I also inherited his rhythm section “The Tone Controls” for six years.

More recently, I produced some shows for him in Austin.

Ah, I thought he was referring to Big Balls. I still have no idea what he saw at the end. All I see are the two videos I set up for the end.

Roll Poly

Holy shit the piano playing on this one! Keep in mind

Not rehearsed
Never performed in this combo
Never even met piano and fiddle in person before that night
They didn’t know I was going to call off any of these songs.
