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

    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

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

    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 ) .

      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.
