Hoosier Hot Shots: Deep in the Heart of Texas

Any regular reader of this blog knows that about a couple of weeks ago, I began exploring the incredible Hoosier Hot Shots.

The Dinning Sisters

I've been very fortunate to run across some episodes of the National Barn Dance and I was able to remove a dozen different songs done by the Hoosier Hot Shots.

The sound quality on all of them are above average.

Today I will share with you a "duet" they did with The Dinning Sisters, a fun number they rearranged a bit, "Deep in the Heart of Texas."

I think you are going to enjoy this.  The Dinning Sisters add a touch of class to the Hot Shots, don't you agree?  You can hear a bit of it here:

More Barn Dance and more of the Hoosier Hot Shots!

The Hoosier Hot Shots were crazy!

I explored the Hoosier Hot Shots the other day. They are quite exciting - or to say the least, I think they have found a new fan in me. I've been singing their stuff ever since I heard it!

Exploring Uncle Ezra and the Hoosier Hot Shots a bit

User Boston Blackie mentioned Uncle Ezra and the Hoosier Hot Shots because I posted a photo of them (in a previous post, below) and I too think Uncle Ezra and the Hoosier Hot Shots are kind of a cool thing.

For one, Uncle Ezra reminds me of what I have in my mind for a picture of Grandpappy Spears (a character played by Chester Lauck on Lum and Abner.)

I have never actually heard Uncle Ezra, so this adds to the intrique quite a bit.  As do the advertisements involving him that I found in the last few months:

Uncle Ezra with National Barn Dance

Uncle Ezra in his own show, Uncle Ezra Broadcasting

The book, "On the Air" - calls Uncle Ezra Broadcasting an "Offshoot of National Barn Dance" - which is to say (probably/maybe) that Uncle Ezra Broadcasting was the first spin-off in history, even before the Great Gildersleeve.

So Uncle Ezra - who was a comedic poet, I believe, is a famous character as far as both radio and TV are concerned because of the spin-off situation.

As far as the Hoosier Hot Shots, I haven't taken the time to listen to them (I've actually hunted Uncle Ezra stuff several times with no luck.)  Yet a look at their advertising leaves you wanting to know more, doesn't it?

Out of all of the advertisements I have found, Alka-Seltzer has the best, by far.

And now, the Hoosier Hot Shots!



And tons more, here. (Don't miss I Like Bananas Because They Have No Bones...)
