Ray Benson with Time Jumpers

Asleep at the Wheel played a show in Nashville, TN, Sunday May 07, 2016. The next evening, Ray Benson and his piano player showed up to sit in with the Time Jumpers at 3rd & Lindsley.
Could not keep the excited fans out of the frame... who could blame them?

After Ray Benson of Asleep At The Wheel took the stage, he and the Time Jumpers performed “Route 66” and “South Of The Border (Down Mexico Way)”. Vince Gill was gracious in letting that curly old wolf Ray Benson get behind the microphone and sing some tunes. Don’t know of many country legends who would do that, giving the stage to a Western swing icon. Hope Ray Benson got around to writing that autobiography. It’s been six years. And by the way, Vince Gill entrusted Ray Benson with his red guitar.

I used to listen to these guys at Station Inn in Nashville and they had Dawn and Carolyn Martin singing.

Obviously missing; Dawn Sears. RIP

[@snakemansnakes1]

Yes! I shall forever be rewinding to Dawn and The Time Jumpers. Much missed great lady with the great voice. Her live version of Leaving and Saying Goodbye is flawless and one of my favourites

[@dennisosborne4613]

Get your kicks, yes!!!!!

[@diannebunnell5582]

HELLO Dr Steve

[@NickRatnieks]

Bill Kirchen also mentions meeting Naomi Judd when she was a waitress and her aspirations- it's just possible Bill was touring with AATW at the same time. The rest is history! South of the Border- a song written in Britain just before WW2 inspired by a postcard from Tijuana! Perhaps, Ray can do another of Jimmy Kennedy's songs- Red Sails In The Sunset!

I met Wayne Newton in Sparks Nevada one night lol.

[@thumbthump]

One word here for Benson. Weed.

[@rossrowley4331]

I attended a show in Humboldt County, Ca about 30 years ago featuring AATW and Riders in the Sky. The Riders opened. Between the shows, the local soundman turned the two bands on to that special California blend of potent agricultural product. About halfway through the AATW performance, Ray Benson starts really getting out there with his guitar solos and his band is all staring at him. He starts laughing uproariously, ends the song and out of nowhere invites the members of the Riders in the Sky on stage to finish the night with the band, At this point, Ranger Doug pretty much takes over the night with his brand of humor and western songs keeping everything intact. Speaking with the soundman afterward he said Ranger Doug imbibed in the magical Humboldt Homegrown more than anyone!

How come mine is the only thumb up ?? Has anyone erased them ?? Probably deaf and dumb.

[@georgiapeach7666]

Is that Vince Gill?

[@thomastarwater2989]

Sure was him in the flesh.

[@pwea1anda294]

no

[@lesclose3764]

Not bad for a Jewish boy from Philly!
