The Father of Western Swing
This Father's Day, I would like to celebrate Milton Brown, the Father of Western Swing. Brown, who was originally a part of the Wills Fiddle Band, was the first to introduce electric steel guitar and piano to the genre. According to the Texas State Historical Association, Milton Brown was also instrumental in making Fort Worth become known as the "Cradle of Western Swing."
