WEB PAGE REPORT If you see this guy, Dave Rietz,
please thank him for the incredi-
ble work he is doing on our
website:
(westernswingsociety.net).
If you haven’t had a chance to visit it you’re miss-
ing out!
Dave is entering a complete list of Hall of Fame
members going all the way back to 1981 when our
organization was founded. It is a huge task that
takes up many hours of Dave’s time. Part of what he
is doing is retyping biographies so that they can be
put into the web page.
If you have typing skills and would like to help out
we could use all the help we can get. You can do as
much or as little as you would like and it would be a
great help. Contact Dave Rietz or Ronnie Elkan,
Thanks
Driving Instructions to MACHINISTS HALL: From Hwy 50, take the Sun-rise Blvd. South exit and cross two lights (Folsom Blvd. and Trade Center
Drive). After crossing Trade Center, be in the left lane and take the next left
turn which is Citrus Road. You will see an Enterprise Car Rental lot in front of you. Turn right into the driveway just past Enterprise. You’ll see our sign,
and you are there. Park, come in and join the fun.

BIG REQUEST!
Youth Band Director’s Main Goal of the Month:
“Get the word out!”
Dave Chan is distributing an email to music and
performing arts teachers at high schools all around
the Sacramento area, along with other music-related
institutions such as Skip’s Music and Kline Music.
The email serves to introduce the Western Swing
Society, the youth band and its director. We are
striving to make this information available to all stu-
dents, regardless of whether they are formally en-
rolled in a music class, through vehicles such as
school newspapers and school websites, as long as it
is allowed by the principal of the school.
It is also important to have resources available in the
form of printed music for the students. Edd Burhans
has already supplied music for teaching 10 bona
fide western swing songs. Also in the works is the
establishment of an email system specifically for the
youth band to promote open and efficient communi-
cation for exclusive use of youth band director, fu-
ture youth band members and overseeing board
members. This will be overseen by Dave Rietz.

ALBUM REVIEWS by Mike Gross
Album: 2CD Set- Double
Live at the Western Club
Artist: Jeff Woolsey and
the Dancehall Kings
Label: Shuffle One
This brand new 2CD set by
Jeff Woolsey and the
Dancehall Kings, recorded live in Navasota,
Texas is filled with 44 tunes (151 minutes) of
Texas dance hall, Western Swing and classic
country music. Jeff is the lead vocalist with
Dixie Hankins the album’s drummer. Jody
Cameron, the spotlighted
steel guitar player was re-
cently enshrined in the
Texas Steel Guitar Hall of
Fame. Chuck Crow plays pi-
ano and along with Dixie
does those wonderful har-
mony vocals. Paul Bennett is heard playing
fiddle and Eddie Moore is the bass guitar
player. Paul also does lead vocal on Kokomo
Arnold's Milk Cow Blues while Chuck and Dix-
ie do harmony vocals. Abigail Carr does har-
mony vocals on one of the tracks consisting
of three tunes.
The album opens with an introduction and
then a grouping of two Texas dance hall
memories. Throughout the album there are
many gems in this style of music recorded
originally by Faron Young, Ray Price, Conway
Twitty, Johnny Bush, Darrell McCall and Mel
Tillis among so many others. These include
classics such as Texas Dance Hall Girl, Jim, Jack and Rose, My Joy and What a Way to Live among them. There are also Bob Wills
memories such as Take Me Back to Tulsa and
