Texas Long Bow is a distinctive old style that preceeds Texas Swing. It doesn't have any Jazz influence, perhaps even to say, no Flat & Scruggs Bluegrass influence (but no Old Timey Clawhammer influence, no banjar at all).

Sorry to say, it’s hard to find any reference to Long Bow on the internet. The several pieces thus identified don’t really do the tradition the justice it deserves.
wow, that is a great performance! thank you!!
Thanks for sharing!
I’ll take Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys!
No bluegrass influence then you post a song written by the father of bluegrass music. Huh?
Sorry to say, I’ve heard people in “a neighboring city” with a lot of skyscrapers, call Forth Worthians “Goat Ropers”. I’m sure that “other city” has plenty of wonderful music, but I can’t really imagine anything as wonderful, or lovely, as this.
Bumping for later. Thanks for posting!

Will see These sisters on Country cruise 16 Jan.
