Sunrise Serenade: Pecos Bill

Today's Sunrise Serenade, while perhaps not technically "Swing," could fall into the category of "Western Swing," and was definitely popular music in the late 1940's.  It was "Pecos Bill" by Roy Rogers and the Sons of the Pioneers from the 1948 Disney film, Melody Time.  Click on the song title to listen courtesy of Jazz On Line.
