It's a Swingin' Tuesday and we have a good one. It meets the tastes of renowned western cartoonist A-10 Etcheverry, as it is one of those "blue" recordings, full of sexual innuendo. I like it because we get to hear an unissued recording with some great breaks by fiddler Jimmy Thomason and pianist Moon Mullican. The tune, Fruit Wagon Gal, was recorded in Hollywood on March 3, 1942 and you'll find it on the CD You Oughta See My Fanny Dance: Previously Unissued Western Swing, 1935-1942.

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.
