Al Dexter And His Troopers recorded one of the most perfect instrumentals ever made with their Texas Rose single for Columbia. The flip, Barrel House Boogie was a tremendous early example of rock and roll. Pure genius.
If the walls could talk from lates '20- '36 to '80's Man would they have enjoyed the talking about then and now. I was an early war baby and some of the old songs in '50 were still on the jute box from songs like this & the WW1 Doughboys -WW 2 and staring of the Korean War... We were just kids and we feed the jute box at my Folks favorite Watering Hole... Very Good Memories as a Kid but very Ruff for the Hard drinking ex GI's. Sorry t write a book but really enjoy the Good Old Music, Still had There's a Star Spangle Banner Waving Somewhere and remember Pearl Harbor along with JimmRogers and a whole herd of great Singers and songs..i'd like to start over again.!
AD,vcl; Bobby Symons, lead electric g; Luke Owens, acoustic rhythm g; Jack True, acoustic string bass. very early glimpses of what the future will bring.
No; it was semi-common by November 1936 when this was recorded; the first electric guitar recording was in early 1933 or possibly late 1932, depending on who you believe. Look for Noi Lane's Hawaiian Orchestra; Hawaiian Ripple/Dreams Of Aloha. That is one candidate; from February 22, 1933.

Dexter's Pistol Packing Mama from 1942 was perhaps THE juke box hit of WW II.
Thank you for good music.

Could this be the very first recording of an electric guitar?
