This Saturday’s (11-8-0 weekly edition of “Swingin’ West” can be heard from 2:00- 3:00 PM (eastern) on WVOF-FM (88.5) in Fairfield Connecticut and streams world wide on the Internet at www.swinginwest.com or www.wvof.org
The theme for this week’s show is a salute to Floyd Tillman. It opens with a Tillman salute by the National band of Texas, the River Road Boys and then goes on to a salute from today’s number one Western Swing CD by John England and the Western Swingers. There are Floyd Tillman memories from the recent Retta Christie CD, from 1964 by Floyd himself with Leon McAuliffe and the Cimarron Boys, from 1949 by Jimmy Wakely and Margaret Whiting and from the Last of the Breed, Ray Price, Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard.
There is a salute to the Florida Steel Guitar Club with member artists, Steel Guitarist/vocalist Don Sulesky, former Pee Wee King Golden West Cowboy, Roy Ayres and the talented Jack Stoner. There is also a Texas dance hall time from new CDs with singer, songwriter, guitarist Chuck Cusimano as well as Pop Wagner & the Twin Cities Playboys and Bill Foster.
The closing grouping goes back to our Floyd Tillman theme with the late Mike O’Daniel as well as Brady Bowen and Jean Prescott. .
Again, the weekly edition of "Swingin' West" can be heard on line by clicking the mouse on the appropriate spot toward the bottom of the home page of the "Swingin' West" web site, www.swinginwest.com You will need to have the free Quick time downloaded on your computer.

Again, I thank MIKE GROSS for all he does to help promote REAL COUNTRY MUSIC.
It wouldn't do any good to spend our hard earned money to record our music if someone didn't play it, and help us sell it.
Thanks for playing my music. God bless you Mike. |

Don, Jack and Chuck!
I can't thank you guys enough for bumping the show thread. I really appreciate all the help that you are giving to me also. Yes, I play your great music and it is my pleasure. I also play so many others that have never once either listened to the show or bumped my threads. I am not asking for any recognition for letting my listeners hear good music but the little extra on your part is really appreciated and definitely remembered when I program my shows.

How about another bump for Mike.
You can catch Mike live at the PSGA show this Sunday the 9th. He would be more than happy to talk to some of you Forumites and Swingin' West listeners.
Mike has had the honor of having many HOF awards given him from the Western Swing world.
Go out and see him and enjoy the PSGA show.

Rick and Don,
Thanks for all of those fine comments guys and the bumps for the show.
Yes, Don, it would be my pleasure to say hello and chat with "Swingin' West" listeners and Forumites. You make my face blush with those comments.
