Robert Earl Keen and Asleep at the Wheel perform "Ding Dong Daddy From Dumas"

[@adamgordon862]

Whoever wrote this song must have graduated from one of Dumas's top business schools with really good grades

[@diannebunnell5582]

Ist time I heard of The one & Only Ray Benson I was working at Gilley's in Pasadena .,Tx.Never forget a Great Voice. & Entertainer.

[@CarterG4Y]

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.

[@stevemurray2737]

Emily killing it on Keyboards!.. Great Band!

[@BoFrazer]

Damn, that Katie has got that warm fiddle tone ALL DAY. And what killer solos by all. 🎶💙

[@bcooper516]

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

[@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!

[@davidsigalow7349]

She's quite a talent in her own right!

[@diannebunnell5582]

4 EVER MY #1 MUSCIAN AND Entertainer.

[@diannebunnell5582]

WHAT A Joy to be able to see Ray Benson sing & Perform.

[@kennethahl4991]

That was great , but I still love the 30's version Bob Wills recorded.

[@ronniekotler9265]

The first time I heard Sleep at the Wheel was there first appearance on Austin city limits many many years ago. I have been a fan ever since then. Ray Benson has an incredible voice.

[@tommyhaynes521]

That gal on the piano rocked it

[@pwea1anda294]

[@kingbushwickthe33rd]

Western Swing Ain't Dead!!It's asleep at the Wheel!!

[@ByronNorris-tl2zk]

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

[@dwightarnold6980]

Emeley Gimbal Is Fantastic!

[@GerryL116]

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

[@andiggidyswig8097]

[@stebopign]

I miss Nathan for You

[@robertchall8576]

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.

[@coldcoffeebean8315]

Who ever knows this Phil Harris song is amazing.

[@jeffridder1221]

So much unappreciated talant.

[@MsLou-su5pj]

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]

@@MsLou-su5pj Check out my big band here on youtube along with several others on my channel. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZ7Jl6OgntqWZrc

[@robertchall8576]

As Tony the tiger would say that was great.

[@bak-mariterry9143]

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

[@torymoore2067]

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

[@salbertron]

Nathan For You .

[@itoldjaso]

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

[@jamesshea897]

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

[@nycinstyle]

[@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.

[@mikestander2413]

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