Page "Bob Wills" Paragraph 34

During the postwar period, KGO radio in San Francisco syndicated a Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys show recorded at the Fairmont Hotel.

Many of these recordings survive today as the Tiffany Transcriptions, and are available on CD.

They show off the band's strengths significantly, in part because the group was not confined to the three-minute limits of 78 RPM discs.

They featured superb instrumental work from fiddlers Joe Holley and Louis Tierney, steel guitarists Noel Boggs and Herb Remington, guitarists Eldon Shamblin and Junior Barnard and electric mandolinist-fiddler Tiny Moore.

The original recorded version of Wills ' " Faded Love ", appeared on the Tiffanys as a fairly swinging instrumental unlike the ballad it became when lyrics were added in 1950.
