Our tune today - Teneha, Timpson, Bobo and Blair - was recorded by Tex Ritter on Dec. 30, 1947. For some interesting historical background on the tune see Tenaha, Timpson, Bobo, and Blair which quotes Ritter in the song and also see Tenaha, Timpson, Bobo, and Blair by East Texas historian A.P. McDonald.
Our family is from Nacogdoches which is just down the line from Tempson, Teneha, Bobo and Blair. Bobo and Blair have faded into history but the other two town still thrive.
