THE WESTERNER

Issues of concern to people who live in the west: property rights, water rights, endangered species, livestock grazing, energy production, wilderness and western agriculture. Plus a few items on western history, western literature and the sport of rodeo... Frank DuBois served as the NM Secretary of Agriculture from 1988 to 2003. DuBois is a former legislative assistant to a U.S. Senator, a Deputy Assistant Secretary of Interior, and is the founder of the DuBois Rodeo Scholarship.

Song Of The Day #124

What's The Matter With The Mill by Bob Wills & The Texas Playboys is our tune today. Tommy Duncan and Bob Wills both do some singing on this number.

The song was recorded on Sept. 29, 1936 in Chicago, Illinois

In addition to Wills & Duncan, there were 12 musicians in the recording session and some of the greats were there: Herman Arnspiger - guitar, Jesse Ashlock - fiddle, Leon McAuliffe - steel and Al Stricklin - piano.

Will's music is widely available as you can see here.
