Swingin' Monday was a holiday, so we'll have Swingin' Tuesday with Adolph Hofner & The Pearl Wranglers and their 1956 recording of I Get So Lonesome (Since You're Gone). Hofner began his recording career with Jimmy Revard and the Oklahoma Playboys. In 1938 he was offered a contract with Bluebird Records and formed the group Adolph Hofner and His Texans. During WWII he recorded as Dolph Hofner & His San Antonians, and in 1950, sponsored by Pearl Beer, he formed Adolph Hofner & The Pearl Wranglers. THE WESTERNER https://thewesterner.blogspot.com/
