Happy Feet Friday

 Bob Wills and his band from 1946 with “Milk Cow Blues”.


Bonus tune!  Guitarist and singer Weldon E. “Big Bill” Lister was a popular sideman on the country music scene in the 1950s and '60s, and a solo performer in his own right (he was the opening act for Hank Williams' 1951 tour). And here's a fascinating fact – when he retired from being a professional musician in the mid-1960s, he became one of the most highly regarded firearms engravers in the country. In the song below, Big Bill serenades us with an ode to a well-known southern delicacy.
