Well hello guys, just a little memo that on the 12th of July I will be headed to Nashville and plan to be at the Station Inn with some more of your good friends, Bun wilson and Doc Richardson and maybe Billy Robinson I am really looking forward to seeing everyone again.
My third time on June 29...I've brought different folks each time,and they all agree...you're Nashville's best music and best-kept secret! Here's a bit of advice for those who haven't seen them yet: The show starts at 9 PM, but the doors open at 7 PM..be there by 7:30 or before to get a primo seat,eat popcorn ,pizza or BBQ while you wait ,and be prepared for musical paradise!
Back for the fourth time and introduced y'all to another friend. It's time to set up a facebook page so we can share the joy that is the Time Jumpers with all our Virtual friends. Heard a lot of new things last night and loved every bit of it.
I've used Bayou Studios for a couple of years now, and George Clinton told me about The Time Jumpers. Joe Spivey's payed fiddle on two of my tunes and I knew he was a monster, but until I saw the PBS special last night I had no idea... All of these folks are hugely talented and have obviously worked hard to hone their crafts. Well Done, FOLKS!
My God, I'm just bowled over! I just finished watching your program on OETA public television here in Oklahoma City and I want MORE!
I know you folks work out of Nashville, but for heaven's sake, you've got to come to Oklahoma City. Otherwise, I'm going to have to drag everyone I know to Nashville.
What a joy to watch and hear. Thanks guys and gals!
On a recent visit with my Son at Fort Campbell Ky., I had the privilege to go to the Station Inn on monday night, April 27,and was witness, to what I believe is the best Western Swing Band to ever take the stage. I am a member of the Western Swing Society Hall of Fame and have played this art form for over forty years. I didn't even know they played western swing, west of Tulsa. So when I tell you this is the best, you can surely believe it. I sincerely hope they make it to the west coast. There are a lot of fans who would like to see thier show
The Time Jumpers continue to be some of the best music and musicians around. It is always a pleasure for me to see Paul Franklin in a live band situation . Special thanks to Jeff Taylor for hospitality above and beyond the call of duty Monday of last week..

I first stumbled onto western swing - "Wheelin' and Dealin'" by the incomparable Asleep at the Wheel - back in the 70s, when I was 16 years old. I can't even remember now why I picked up the album - probably just saw it in the record store and liked the cover. AatW led me back to the source, Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys, and in the intervening years I've come to love all the greats - Milton Brown, Spade Cooley, Adolph Hofner - you know the drill. That brings me to The Time Jumpers. What a wonderful new take you folks bring to this truly ageless music. Western Swing purists know that there never was anything pure about this music. From the start, Bob Wills' inspired blend of country western and dixieland jazz, propelled by the signature "suitcase beat", delighted fans and confused industry types. So you Time Jumpers are solidly in the tradition - you sound "modern", just like Wills did back in the 30s!
My wife and I visit the Nashville area about 1-2 times each year and we always to the Station Inn on Monday night. The music and musicians are awesome. We enjoy it so much and have told all our friends who also visit the area. We can't wait for our next visit. Keep up the wonderful music.
I was told I had to hear this band! I was talking to my husband on the phone while I was at work and we both were impressed. He is a bass player and loved the bass lines. I can't wait to see you in person!
We finally had the opportunity to see the Time Jumpers in person. Believe it or not, - we actually drove all the way from Charlotte NC just to see them on MOnday night April 20th. What a fantastic time we had!! The Jumpers are by far the best group that still plays good old fashioned Country Swing, that we have ever seen anywhere. We're just a couple of old codgers that have nothing better to do but travel around the country, and we are so very happy that in our travels we went to Nashville and saw this group. We saw them first on local PBS last fall, and planned for several months to go and see them in person. Our impression???? FANTASTIC!!!!! Thank you thank you.
I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO EXPERIENCE THE WONDERFUL LIVE PERFORMANCE WHILE VISITING NASHVILLE LAST THANKSGIVING. I WISELY MADE A PURCHASE OF A CD OF THEIR WONDERFUL MUSIC AND GET TO LISTEN AT MY OWN DISCRETION.
I LOVE LISTENING TO IT WHILE I AM DRIVING TO AND FROM WORK,,,,, ALWAYS PUTS ME IN A GOOD MOOD
THANK YOU TO ALL THE MEMBERS FOR NOT ALLOWING THIS MUSIC TO DISAPPEAR
I think, your post is very interesting, because I read more information, but your it's great. Good and interesting information, with original comments.Thanks and success!
I heard you in Lexington, Ky. about a year ago. I enjoyed it immensely. I have a young relative educating himself in the medical profession in Nashville. I think I will use that as an excuse to visit you at the Station Inn soon. Best of all to all.
