I love to hear a simple song well and simply played like that! I did not see the connection between the song and Texas. I was a bit surprised when I researched the song and found this simple children's song's checkered past! Still can't see the connection with Texas, but the tune fits the add.
I see the connection now, due to dougharps post. Not being Texan, another set of lyrics comes to mind when I hear that tune. I had never heard the "Eyes of Texas" lyrics before.
If that was on a diatonic, I noticed the strategic fade out just at the point where one needs that "three hole inhale second bend - at pitch" to play the line (if you were playing in 1st position).
heh heh...

JustFuya, It was in a studio, but there was just me and an engineer. No producer. They had advised me to do the whole song in 30 seconds. I advised it would sound crazy fast. I did multiple options, fast, slow with a fadeout, first and cross harp and even through a bullet and amp. I was surprised because they told me that wanted the cross harp bluesy version, but I thought they should pick they one they ultimately did. When the commercial came out, they made the right choice, imo.
