It was Texas honky-tonks and roadhouses that put country music on the map during the depression. Most honky-tonks catered to families, had dance floors, and boasted live music by aspiring musicians who worked by day and played hillbilly music by night. The automobile, all-weather roads, and the end of prohibition contributed to the growth of Texas country taverns, i.e. those wonderful Texas honky-tonks. Country music exploded during the 40s. Troop movements spread this music throughout the nation. The kicking and hopping dances that accompanied country music acquired the name "kicker dance." These dances also spread nationwide from Texas military bases. Jim Reves, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Kenny Rogers, and Barbara Mandrell found their way from Texas to stardom as the country sound continued to grow. By 1981 Aimee Lee Ball wrote for Redbook, "Texas fever has to do with fantasy and romance." Ball also wrote, "Texas mania goes deeper than media hype. It has something to do with the need to believe in something distinctly American, a proud heritage." Although the small country honky-tonks and roadhouses continue today, monstrous country and western halls commercialized the C & W dance craze. And for singles everywhere, Texas Boot Scootin' combines comfortable western attire, old-west manners, a relaxed atmosphere for singles meeting singles, and a bridge for romance! |
