LeRoy VanDyke having fun singing His "Auctioneer Song"

[@ninjabluewings]

I wish so much I had seen this LEGEND!! of a man on stage, he kept in good shape, kept his full head of hair and his voice just the same as it was 50+ years ago well into his mid 80's BLESS HIM! 🙏

[@nanlar66]

This man can still sing up a storm. Sounds just as good today as he did way back then. I have the original 45 rpm record and just bought a new turntable unit so I can start playing all my old vinyl again. Great, Great Song.

[@wannabhip62]

I love this song! Brings back great childhood memories!

[@MrAuctionaction]

Thank you Leroy - this was the song that, as an 11 year old, set me on my career path as an auctioneer and which I have done across Australia and in Indonesia, New Zealand and the United States. keep chasing the team I say!

[@olensoifer9901]

You're not the only one! I probably heard this on one of my older brother's 45 records (backed by My Little Ponytail, as I recall). I, of course, had no idea that there actually was such a thing as "auction school". But, twenty years later (Class of ''82 perhaps?) I found myself at the Worldwide College of Auctioneering in Mason City, Iowa...owned, at the time, by Col. Gordon E. Taylor. I wonder how many people realize that, rather than just a musical performer, Leroy VanDyke is an auctioneer for real?

[@MrAuctionaction]

It's wonderful how music can drive dreams eh?

[@Cantreachthestars]

Okay, I have to ask: What are the qualifications? And how much do you love your job?

He's got to be like 1000 now and he still rocks this song. Way to go LeRoy. Love this song.

[@BurninGems]

I came in after looking for the Auctioneer song after watching "The Callers" on Netflix. Yep, slow night with the snow and all... But, I've always been curious about that job and now the chant and now come across Anne & Lydia. You two have talent, I hope you go far and long in the entertainment biz. Thanks for posting this version, I enjoyed seeing it live.

[@451hist]

Great song and video! Thank you for posting it!

[@caroljeanscott5571]

I want to thank LeRoy VanDyke for writing that song. It is such a great tune and it is one of the songs we square dance to.🤣🤣🤣

[@robinharris8837]

I love this number!

[@eli7j]

It's so great to see someone with a video that has all these great positive comments rather than the usual high school stuff people post! Here's to great performers and great audiences!

[@chadspringstead4396]

This song reminds me of my cousin Darryl Blake love you man

[@myeyeshadowisodd]

God I love this song and the way he rolls the "whhhooooooddddddddaaa bid"..

[@matrage]

heard this song for the first time today I just love it. LeRoy sounds just as great as he did on the original recording!!!

[@jennifershearer7238]

love this song

[@barrybaker190]

Have met Leroy a time or two since we both lived in Sedalia, Mo. Always a gentleman, and if I'm not mistaken, the steel player on the far right is a friend of mine, tony Shaffer. Have worked with Tony on several occasions. Very talented all around musician. Tony can play nearly anything, and play it well.

[@dylanevers1694]

This is an old comment of yours, but it's really cool to know

[@arj5014]

just heard this on sirius radio--omg--this is fantastic!!!!

[@CFRfan101]

He is amazing

[@ellenr.3549]

Good memories.

[@mcfrdmn]

Excellent musical performance!

[@JoeHupp]

Leroy was a auctioneer before he became famous as a singer - hence the ease and quickness of the auction pieces in this song!

[@SirElvi1]

A Great Missouri Boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@vinny8562]

Great song.

[@BFHeroesPro]

amazing

[@jessmyster1]

my dad was in the canadian army and told us about this man in the US army who wrote this really cool song in his tent, in the hills of korea, then one day the song came on the radio, this was when I was a kid, I am 54 now, we were in the car on the way to school and my dad yells that's the song he wrote in korea, and they could hear him trying to make it ryhme all over camp., everyone loved the distraction, and they never dreamed it would be the only song he ever wrote. and a big big hit.

[@AnnaEppsMusic]

This performance was in Oct. 2009.

[@Exakta66]

Thanks for sharing btw...cool stuff...

[@glen7318]

thanks for putting this.

[@waybee100]

[@SingingFool1977]

I've been singing this for years in karaoke bars, and I can't do it a 10th as good as Leroy! This was phenomenal!

[@firglenchainsaws]

[@mccoobs]

evetually, all the greats seed the Earth with shell....

[@shibby1965]

Do you have any videos with Eddie Stankard playing drums? Would be in early 90's.

[@tomtubman]

Can't beat it he's good !!!!

[@wemakeemrunagain1]

Hey well alright sir, open the gate and walk 'em aboard...

[@jilliannecombs850]

This song was actually written about my grandpa believe it or not, David Norton. He was good friends with this man

[@BMWLDRider]

Groovy

[@roseanne74]

Bullshit. He says plainly that it was written about his second cousin.

[@dylanevers1694]

Old comment of yours, but it was about a dude named Ray Simms

[@mihaelahatch4490]

he sounds like my grandpa. he now has dementia. its really sad

[@rbhauler60]

He wrote it about ray simms..

[@international660]

I think he has sung this a time or two

[@debbieharrison1911]

MY HUSBAND WAS A AUCTIONEER

[@JoeHupp]

I have to agree! Live music is so much better than CD's as I believe CD's are over-engineered.......

[@henrietteheger4276]

and cant get it out for some reason

[@MrkStphn91]

What did the women say?

[@kennethlane259]

Does anyone know when this performance took place?

[@lilyjameson5156]

+Kenneth Lane October 2009.

[@gerryroberts662]

good question.?

[@redleg56]

Told ya white people invented rap.

[@kitchenmaiden81]

John Skelton. He invented it. Skeltonic verse is the true term for it, apparently.

[@redleg56]

Huzzah for knowing who John Skelton was!

[@kitchenmaiden81]

redleg56 Learned it from a video by Bill Whittle! :)
