From 1982 to 1985 I used to play twice weekly at a place called Rodeo Ranch on the island of Curaçao. They had a cassette tape there that they played every night. It had “Country Music” handwritten on it, no titles and no performing artists.
Back in those days there was no internet, no Spotify or Shazam. Nobody could tell me anything about the songs on the tape but I loved them and learned to play them all.
Much later when I lived in the Netherlands, internet came and I found out the music on the tape was Western Swing and the artist one one side of the cassette was Red Steagall and the other side The Texas Playboys.
I am recording an album with a number of of those songs. One of them, “Lone Star Beer and Bob Wills Music” will be released as a single in February 2022.
