This is one epic conversation!

Here we were in the historic Stampede Dance Hall on the Snyder Highway outside of Big Springs, Texas with none other than Jody Nix - a legend in Texas dance hall music.

We talked about his being invited to be part of the last Bob Wills album ever recorded - "For the Last Time" - as well as about growing up with the King of Western Swing coming over to his house after becoming friends with Jody's father, Hoyle Nix.

Jody even brought Bob Wills' original fiddle to the Stampede that day, and took it out and played it!

Enjoy this insightful look back into the days of the beginnings of Western Swing, as well as an inspiring look into the life of Mr. Jody Nix, himself!
