About the Author:
Not long after helping launch the disco craze, John Travolta played a central role in another dance phenomenon—the boot-scooting two-step from his film, Urban Cowboy. But it wasn't the first time the nation danced to American country and western music—that happened a half-century earlier, when the "western swing" of bands led by Bob Wills and Milton Brown ruled the airwaves and music halls.
Ralph G. Giordano is a professional registered architect in the state of New York, a history teacher at Msgr. Farrell High School in Staten Island, and an adjunct professor of American Studies at the City University of New York.
