Monday Music - Sons of the Pioneers

A day-late birthday present to my dear wife Valerie. As a young'un, she liked doing homework to the sounds of the Sons of the Pioneers. She made a fan of me as well; particularly their early work, with that jazzy guitar and the terrific harmonies.

Here's a favorite of ours, and one of the very few live performances I could find. A bit cut; sorry, honey! From 1937.

Sweet! Haven't heard that style - close to yodeling - in a long while.

Happy birthday, Valerie :D

Aww...beautiful! I grew up with the Sons of the Pioneers, they were one of my dad's favorites. The memories bring tears to my eyes, dad's been gone since '97.
