Thanks for this excellent post. Merry christmas!
Wow! This looks really great! I can't wait to give this a listen. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks. If you ever want "album covers" for this or future postings let me know and I will work something up for you, -C
That would be great. I could use the help sometimes. I just didn't have anything for art and no time to make anything this time. But which anonymous are you?? ;-)
Make me wish I was down at the Broken Spoke doing the sanity clause shuffle! Thanks for sharing!
Hey! One of those Bob Wills songs is the one from The Simpsons! I always wondered who that was. Thanks again and Merry Christmas!
This is an incredible post (this can be said for all of your posts!). But this one especially is just a perfect mix. Thanks and happy holidays!!
Great Christmas-y post! However, the Pee Wee King track is not "Rootin Tootin Santa Claus" :)
Oh man, you're right! Ok, I'll get that Pee Wee King song posted pronto
Hey HFN,
Here is a quick and dirty cover. If I spent a few days on it, or even a few hours, I'm sure I could come up with something better. I hope it doesn't look too dark on other computers. I can always lighten it up.
Here's a link (400 pixel version) (I have a 600 pixel version too):

Hey Friends,
I'm glad to find this page, and hope to get to know some of you better.
Some other links you may find interesting are http://wswing.home.texas.net/index.html, www.swinginwest.com, and www.westernswingers.com... my band!
paul si sinorina from Czech rep.25.12.08 I'll hope that compil. WESTERN 2OO8/12 CHRISTMAS will be better than Gene Autry 1948 sound like his Rudolph's....It is very bad work to complet several song in similar sound like christmas swing. Good luck in 2OO9 with F-4O1x ZOOM - MACRO SOLIGOR AF 7O-210. Happy time.
I love it, but it sounds like a few songs cut off at the end. Great collection though
I just brought tears to my husbands eyes! My husband has an unnatural love for christmas songs. He also loves Bob Wills. As long as we've been together we have searched for what he has always called simply "The Holy Grail". It is the purpose of every yard sale and thrift shop trip.
Every year at christmas I spend hours on the phone and on the internet searching for a Bob Wills Christmas album. Every year I get closer and closer but every time I've tried to get these songs they are out of print or I lose on an e-bay auction in the last minutes. This year I started early and .....HOLY COW! You have just given me the Holy Grail!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't thank you enough! I just walked down stairs and plugged in my Ipod. You should have seen his face!
Thanks for sharing!
Merry Christmas!
