71 Bob Wills (1905-1975) and his Texas Playboys “New Spanish Two Step” 1946

“Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys’ 1945 visit to the Grand Ole Opry defied Nashville’s parochial proprieties. First, they arrived in a bus. They wore white, tailored western suits, white hats, and boots…People were also awestruck over his musical instrument display, which included electric guitars, amps, and a set of white pearl Slingerland drums…Ernest Tubb said, ‘Bob Wills is important because he put the beat in country music’” (Rosetta Wills, The King of Western Swing, 1998).
