The record — long form
Cain's is the swung — the 'western swing' that's the genre's name, the 'jazz + hillbilly' that's the sound's mix. The 'New Year's '35' is the debuted — the 'KVOO' that's the radio's reach, the 'switchboards' that's the flood's victim. The 'garage' is the born — the '1924' that's the building's year, the 'Brady' that's the founder's name.
The 'dime-a-dance' is the priced — the 'ten cents' that's the lesson's cost, the 'Depression' that's the business's climate. The 'maple spring' is the bounced — the 'log cabin' that's the floor's pattern, the 'disco ball' that's the light's form. Cain's is the kept — the 'Carnegie Hall' that's the nickname's claim, the 'still playing' that's the venue's life.
