  Western Swing
"swing" was the thing, in the 1930s, young people from coast to coast were dancing in urban ballrooms to the music of Benny Goodman, Tommy Dorsey, Sammy Kaye, and a long list of other popular dance bands of the era.
Country cousins of these youngsters were doing the same, but not in ballrooms and not to the "uptown" bands whose names most readily come to mind when the era of swing music is recalled.
Beginning in the country dance halls of Texas and Oklahoma, an infectious combination of country, cowboy, polka, and folk music was blended with "swing" to create a variation played by so-called "hot string bands," which would later come to be known as "Western Swing."
