EP-22 This is a rare undiscovered recording by Bob Wills and The Texas Playboys on January 4, 1958. It was recorded during a KVOO On-Air Radio Broadcast from the Cain’s Ballroom in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Bob and the Boys are talking with the radio announcer and performing live on stage. The song they are performing in this video is “Time Changes Everything”.
This number was one of the more popular numbers performed by Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys.
It is believed it was written and composed by Bob Wills after the failure of his third and fourth marriage, both to Mary Helen Wills, who was the widow of his former Light Crust Doughboys partner, Milton Brown. In a year and a half they were married and divorced twice. After the song came out, he told her that the lyrics were wrong, that time had not changed his love for her.
It was first recorded April 15, 1940 with Tommy Duncan on the vocals. During this broadcast Tommy’s brother, Glynn Duncan is singing the lead.
What you are about to hear is a rare recording of Bob Wills and The Texas Playboys performing “Time Changes Everything” live on stage during the KVOO On-Air Radio Broadcast at the Cain’s Ballroom in Tulsa, Oklahoma on January 7, 1958.
I have digitally remastered the original recordings.
