For years now, the last Saturday in April has been the day that thousands of fans from across the USA and literally the world over, transform the sleepy West Texas town of Turkey into the center of the Western Swing universe. Turkey, Texas is the hometown of Bob Wills, the innovator of one of the few truly American forms of music known as Western Swing. This unique genre is a fusion of Country, Western, Jazz, Blues and even Gospel music, and unlike most forms, fans don't go to a concert to just listen to a Western Swing band, they go to dance!
