Western Swing on 78

Take swing music, add a little cowboy twang, and you get Western Swing.  Granted, that description is oversimplified, but we have to start somewhere.  Boing Boing recently posted about
Western Swing on 78, a site with downloadable collections of MP3s from out of print 78 RPM records donated by a small group of collectors.  One of the many genres that emerged as the original swing began to dissipate into other forms of music, Western Swing is a great, if mainly unkown, source of fun.  Boing Boing also has some performance video here
