Episode 52: Joe Showalter (Tunes from Two Gun Terry)

Welcome to Get Up in the Cool: Old Time Music with Cameron DeWhitt and Friends! This week’s friend is Joe Showalter. I stopped by his house a couple months ago at the end of my first Get Up in the Cool tour, and it was really nice to get to know him a little better and play one on one. We talked about religion and music, and the tension that exists there sometimes. Specifically, the line between worship and performance, which, incidentally, I think, is a false dichotomy that is also present in old time music.  Tunes we’ll play: Fly Around My Pretty Little Miss Cuckoo’s Nest Round the Horn Billy in the Lowground Texas Gals Bonus Track: Swingin’ On A Gate Support Get Up in the Cool on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/getupinthecoolSupport Get Up in the Cool
