RIP. From the article:
“He said, ‘We’re gonna reach back and get this great old music and infuse it with a ’60s and ’70s spirit,’” Ray Benson, the frontman for Asleep at the Wheel, one of the many bands inspired by Mr. Frayne, said in a phone interview. “He saw the craft and beauty of things America had left behind.”
Saw Ray and Asleep At The Wheel about a month ago at the Crystal Bay Casino in Lake Tahoe. They too were awesome and Ray was on his game. Even got a fist bump as they came off stage. But, I am NOT a fanboy. LOL!
Asleep At The Wheel is still great.
Saw Asleep at the Wheel in 1979 at the Deschutes Station Tavern in Bend, OR. Great show. They’re coming to Tucson a week from today, but the venue is all about masks and proof of vaccination, so I won’t be going.
