Asleep at the Wheel.

My first date with my future wife was to see Asleep at the Wheel opening for the The nighthawks at a Bar named Spankys on Nov 3, 1978.

I’ve like the band ever since. I retired awhile ago and the following song was my go to every morning and evening commute for the entire the last year of my “career”. Lifes Good!

I saw Asleep at the Wheel in a small night club in Philadelphia in the 80s. I never forget them and always tried to follow them because the Western Swing sound was so fun and entertaining especially compared to the flash in the pan punk rock/new wave bands that were popular at the time.
