[Dixielandjazz] simple music

[EDWIN COLTRIN]

In the 30's there was a radio station in Oakland, Ca "KXL" that broadcast hill billy music and also some country, Bob Wilber and early Autry and others. If I remember correctly it was on most of their radio time.
   
  When the Army stuck me in Misery, excuse, Missouri, Ft Leonard Wood, the most listened to staton was KWTO, the watch tower of the Ozarks, with cousin Emmy and her Pals, which pleased many a poor boy from the hill country. Some had to travel by foot for two days to get to the recruiting/induction station, that is according to Deneen Brock, and Mumford.

  Actually at one time there were two distinct types. There was Country music 
and there was Western music. Western music were tunes like Back in the 
Saddle Again, Pistol Packin Momma, Don't Fence Me In, etc. I was young but 
my parents listened to Grand Old Opry that featured what was more accurately 
described as Hill Billy music.

Sometime, or at least I think it was, in the late 50's there became what we 
call Country and Western when early rock as done by Elvis and other early 
performers started to morph into more modern styles of rock like Doo Wop, 
Beach Boys etc.

This is all personal recollection so may not be entirely accurate but I 
think I'm pretty close ---- What do you think?
