"It's All Over Now"

The fuller title is "It's All Over Now (I Won't Worry)"

Decca 5785

It's all over now, I won't worry
There's nothing that time won't erase
It's all over now, I won't worry
Still I'll long for that smile on your face

The days that we spent while together
Are still fresh in my memory
It's all over now, I won't worry
Still I wish you were back here with me

The summers have gone and I've waited
My waiting has all been in vain
It's all over now, I won't worry
For you my lonesome heart will remain

It's all over now, I won't worry
The years have passed by and I'm old
It's never too late, I won't worry
And my love for you never grows old
Song by Lew Porter & Johnny Lange

This is one of the best western swing bands.

Recorded on September 1, 1939 (the same day Hitler invaded Poland and started World War II),

Recorded at the Rice Hotel in Houston, Texas.

Here are musicians heard on other Cliff Bruner records from this era: Cliff Bruner on fiddle; possibly J. R. Chatwell on fiddle; Bob Dunn on electric steel guitar; Aubrey "Moon" Mullican on piano (some vocals); Johnny Thames on tenor rhythm banjo; possibly Dickie McBride on guitar (and some vocals); Hezzie Bryant on string bass, Randall "Red" Raley (guitar), Leo Raley (mandolin), Johnny Thames (banjo).

Chatwell (as a singer--not as a fiddler) and Bruner made comebacks with the Texas Swing Pioneers in the 1970s with TV appearances and recordings some of which show up on this medium.

The musicians known as Cliff Bruner's Texas Wanderers were a link between swing and honky tonk.

Cliff Bruners and His Boys were the first to record a truck driving anthem, "Truck Driver's Blues" (written by Ted Daffan). The year was 1939.

Cliff Bruner said during an interview, "When I left Milt Brown, I hired Moon as my piano man. He developed his style--he'd call it 'three finger style.' He didn't play very good when I hired him, but he developed into a fine piano man, terrific showman. Later on, he and I had a band together for a few years, called it Cliff Bruner, Moon Mullican and the Show Boys."

The wartime ban on records cut into the musicians' income as recording artists, and they relied more on live performances.
