    Recorded less than a year after the Quickstep, and in the same state, this sounds like it came from somewhere in Mississippi. These examples show only a couple of different Anglo styles; elements of blues, jazz, Cajun fais-do-do, and German polkas have all fed into the Texas musical mainstream of today.

    The Lewis Brothers: Dempson Lewis, fiddle; Denmon Lewis, guitar.
