    I waited with my wife and son at Great Adventure,a Six Flags associated Park in New Jersey, to see Asleep at The Wheel until the park was about to close. For some reason they had a major delay getting there. Even so they set up and gave a brief show. They even invited the few people there to tour the bus. Willie must have been there first because I had to get high on my own supply.Around 1977.

    Saw AATW in 1973 touring in support of Comin’ Right At Ya, and Ray’s still kicking butt.
    Yep, I’m old and so is he!

      @@josephcolarusso6186 there was a local band in Lancaster, PA, where I went to college. They were called the Moonlight Flyers. We’re talking early ‘70s.
      “Ain’t Nobody Here But Us Chickens” was on their set list. Loved that tune. Texas swing, such great music! AATW is the perfect band for this.

      A little-known fact is that Asleep At The Wheel started out in Paw Paw, West Virginia. The group has been based in Austin for so long, though, that it is indelibly associated with Texas.

Benson is a Jewish name "Ben" in Hebrew means "Son of" and"son" is the English word for "Son of@@censusgary "Take me back to Tulsa" I left USA for Israel in 1970.....May G-d Bless You

      @@judsonspruce1768 they are so fun to play with. I came off the road in 2022, but I still play occasional local gigs with them. So many killer players came through the band over the past 54 years. Ray created something really special and has managed to keep it going. I'm very grateful to be a part of the Wheel family.
