Phil Baxter, 1928

[@carrollcaldwell4570]

Great Music!

[@mikeyfazed]

Pretty good, although Bill Heath's cover might still be my favorite.

[@PhoenixFlight94]

Why mess with perfection?

[@stebopign]

bill heath's perfection in every way.

[@Cbarchat]

Bill’s band on this track would make basketball star Tommy Peacock jealous

[@Moskeeto]

You mean the original? This cover is just a cheap imitation.

[@bendingriver7101]

I really love the Nick Shoulders version!

[@ronniekotler9265]

The first time I heard Asleep At The Wheel many years ago was their first time on Austin city limits. I have been a fan ever since then. Ray Benson has an incredible voice

[@patriciajrs46]

This band has always reminded me of Bob Wills. Great country swing! I love it. Love Ray Benson.

[@my_cellium]

[@graycloud057]

Elizabeth McQueen said she had a blast working with Ray. Said he was the hardest working guy in music. Love me some Asleep at the wheel!

Emily Gimble can really play that piano as well belt out a great tune. I heard her sing on the tribute video for Merle Haggard. She did a super cover of ( It Ain't Love, but It Ain't Bad ) .

[@BuffaloRick]

I was lucky enough to meet and play with her in Taos NM at the Gimble Swing Camp back in 2003 & 2006.

[@MsLou-su5pj]

@@BuffaloRick That must have been a wonderful experience ! I’ve been to Taos,NM at least three times, sure wish I could have been there when the Swing Camp was going on. The west was always a favorite vacation spot of my late husband and I loved it as well. Thanks for your reply…

[@BuffaloRick]

That's a lot of talent there. Even the band ie getting with it.need to get Jr.brown in there .

[@onepunchgeorge9251]

I thought it WAS JR.BROWN at 1st!😎🎸🎶

[@BoFrazer]

Jr was with them briefly 20+ years ago. He’s better off in control of his own situation.

[@bcooper516]

My mother was from Perryton Texas but later moved to Dumas where my grandfather lived and she loved this song!!!!!!

[@dwightarnold6980]

Emeley Gimbal Is Fantastic!

[@ByronNorris-tl2zk]

The first thing you see driving through Dumas, Texas, is the big cowboy and the sign "Home of the Ding Dong Daddies"!

[@garrylinn4028]

Love the girl on the violin.

[@GerryL116]

That would be Katie, always fiddling and singing up a storm. Love what she adds to the band.

[@andiggidyswig8097]

Me too

[@BigBewtieHoles]

In think in this case it’s referred to as a fiddle

[@11LK]

Katie Shore

[@torymoore2067]

That's our song! Come by and see us!

[@jamesshea897]

I love Asleep at the Wheel, but this is not something that I could even LIKE a little bit.

[@itoldjaso]

So THAT'S what Buck Showalter does in his spare time!

[@mikestander2413]

I think I just did my stuff in my pants. Oops!

[@coldcoffeebean8315]

Who ever knows this Phil Harris song is amazing.

[@robertchall8576]

As Tony the tiger would say that was great.

[@bak-mariterry9143]

FYI... The voice of Tony the Tiger was Thril Ravenscroft .

[@diannebunnell5582]

What a GREAT man & Musician.

[@nycinstyle]

A side note on this classic song from the 1930's. Norton tells Ralph "you ain't no ding dong daddy from dumas." when the two are getting ready to practice their dancing skills (doing the hucklebuck) before taking out their wives on The Honeymooners.

[@BigBewtieHoles]

Haha brought here from Nathan for you stayed because it’s entertaining as hell and it’s crazy this is what replaced midnight at the Apollo after snl
