The Syncopated Times

Rob Wright (bj/gtr) with the Wildcat Jazz Band had a set titled “My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys” with emphasis on the classic cowboy tunes of the ‘50s and ‘60s. Think Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, Johnny Cash and others of that fabulous era. With vocalists Ashley Westcott and Chelsee Hicks, the trio brought us back to that bygone era. Ashley did some superb yodeling and did a great rendition of Leroy Van Dyke’s “Auctioneer’s Song” with all the words that could possibly be uttered in any one moment. Chelsee’s interpretations of Patsy Cline’s iconic numbers were a tribute to the grand dame of country…but better!
