<v Speaker 1>Well wonderful.

18
00:00:53.399 --> 00:00:57.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we play western swing with most people from Oklahoma

19
00:00:57.039 --> 00:00:59.280
<v Speaker 2>know what western swing is, but for those who don't,

20
00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:03.039
<v Speaker 2>it's kind of a usion of country and jazz with

21
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:07.079
<v Speaker 2>blues and big band swing thrown in. So it's a

22
00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:10.760
<v Speaker 2>little bit of an inclusive music that's something for everybody.

23
00:01:10.879 --> 00:01:15.799

00:01:54.159 --> 00:01:54.840
<v Speaker 2>Saturday night.

35
00:01:55.640 --> 00:01:59.400
<v Speaker 1>Wonderful Now with your band, it's got to be a

36
00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:02.040
<v Speaker 1>lot of fun. Now. I still see a lot of

37
00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:06.599
<v Speaker 1>Texas Swing and a lot of what we call that

38
00:02:06.599 --> 00:02:11.800
<v Speaker 1>that that genre music being performed all over the Southwest,

39
00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:14.599
<v Speaker 1>and it is still as popular as it ever was.

40
00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:19.960
<v Speaker 2>It is. It's a very very energetic music. It's got

41
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:25.800
<v Speaker 2>an infectious beat to it. Great for dancing. Uh. And

42
00:02:26.919 --> 00:02:28.840
<v Speaker 2>we have been doing this a long time. I've got

43
00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:35.000
<v Speaker 2>a nine piece band and we've got saxophone, trumpet, steel guitar, fiddles, soul, piano,

44
00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:40.000
<v Speaker 2>the whole thing. So we play a I guess a

45
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:42.800
<v Speaker 2>variety of Western swing. I mean there's Western swing and

46
00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:44.639
<v Speaker 2>then you can if you want to, you can dissect

47
00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:47.240
<v Speaker 2>it if if you want to. I don't like to,

48
00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:50.879
<v Speaker 2>but if you want to. So we will play on

49
00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:53.120
<v Speaker 2>the country side of Western swing for a while, then

50
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:56.319
<v Speaker 2>we'll play on the big band side for western for

51
00:02:56.360 --> 00:02:58.520
<v Speaker 2>a while because we do things like a train from

52
00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:03.479
<v Speaker 2>Duke Ellington Aston Street Blues, which is a Dixieland band

53
00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:08.039
<v Speaker 2>a song that and Dixieland is very prominent in Western

54
00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:13.639
<v Speaker 2>swing music. That beat and that feel of Dixieland. And

55
00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:16.719
<v Speaker 2>so we invite everybody out to be with us. We'd

56
00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:19.560
<v Speaker 2>love to see you come up to the band sand

57
00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:21.759
<v Speaker 2>and talk to us. We love to interact with folks.

58
00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:25.520
<v Speaker 2>Uh and uh. Like I say, We're going to start

59
00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:28.719
<v Speaker 2>at eight and go to eleven on Friday evening. They're

60
00:03:28.759 --> 00:03:31.520
<v Speaker 2>at the Fairgrounds building in Pehusca.

61
00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:33.960
<v Speaker 1>Now, how can people get tickets just right at the door?

62
00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:35.360
<v Speaker 1>Can we get them in advance?

63
00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:37.840
<v Speaker 2>They can get them at the door, but they can

64
00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:42.240
<v Speaker 2>also go online to Pehustal Western Swing Festival dot com.

65
00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:45.759
<v Speaker 1>That's easy to remember, yeah.

66
00:03:45.639 --> 00:03:50.520
<v Speaker 2>And and buy tickets there as well. So, and we

67
00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:53.080
<v Speaker 2>really would like to see I have I've had a

68
00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:55.280
<v Speaker 2>lot of friends from Bartlesville over the years, and I'd

69
00:03:55.319 --> 00:03:57.400
<v Speaker 2>love to see some of them over there, so I

70
00:03:57.879 --> 00:03:59.240
<v Speaker 2>would invite them to come on over.

71
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:01.759
<v Speaker 1>I tell you what this sounds like. It's going to

72
00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:05.400
<v Speaker 1>be one of those things that will keep on going.

73
00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:07.360
<v Speaker 1>Hopefully this will be one of the things we have

74
00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:10.000
<v Speaker 1>every year that'd be kind of heat if we could.

75
00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:12.400
<v Speaker 2>Do that, I think it will. We just played a

76
00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:15.599
<v Speaker 2>festival in Fort Worth over the weekend and there on

77
00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:19.040
<v Speaker 2>their fourth year, and it was a packed house, just

78
00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:24.959
<v Speaker 2>packed of all people of all ages. Because it attracts

79
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:29.720
<v Speaker 2>people of all ages, and so I hope I feel

80
00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:32.879
<v Speaker 2>that they will continue it and it'll be a great

81
00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:37.959
<v Speaker 2>addition to northeast Oklahoma and what you all do there now.

82
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:41.120
<v Speaker 1>Fort Worth a buddy of mine, Steve Marquard, has got

83
00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:44.839
