Song Of The Day #110

We'll dip into the old stack of 78rpm records again this morning.

The Tune Wranglers were a San Antonio based western swing band formed in the mid-thirties. Their front man, singer and guitarist was Buster Coward. Over the course of their career they cut 80 sides, with their most famous song being Texas Sand.

Their music is available in the CD format on the 27 track Tune Wranglers: 1936-1938.

The two selections for today though are from the original 78s, and are They Go Wild Over Me (B-6301B) and Sarah Jane (B-6397B).

A huge majority of the listening public believes the first tune could have been written about me, and the second about Sharon.
