  • Luv it!!!

    Met Tommy and he was genuine and a gentleman' on Okinawa in 1965.

    These guys had fun playing and entertaining and the songs made yu want to hum them way on down to the end of the row while you picked or chopped.

  • why were they always sneaki n up on the mic...? lol

  • Good ol Tommy Duncan. Love him

  • this makes me smile!

  • tempo too fast for this version, still good though.

  • khreat

  • The Steel Guitar player is Billy Tonnesen playing his Barder triple neck custom made steel, there is none other like it. Billy played with Ole from around '45 to '54. Billy is still around living in California. One Super Guy and Steel Player!!

  • The fiddle players are Woody Applewhite and Rocky Stone (my father). I don't see a bass player, but my uncle, Virgil Lee, also played with Ole for a time.

  • Does anyone know any of the other people in this video? How about where it was filmed. We think the guy playing steel guitar may be Warren Allmon & would like to confirm this. Please comment.

  • Ole played on the L.A. area during the war in a lots of big joinnts. Ming's 97th Street Corral was one. Tommy Duncan? What else can be said about this GREAT W/S vocalist. Best in his time/better than most today and put millions on the dance floors coast to coast! Thanks!

  • How funny! Ole Rasmussen is Danish!

  • Sorry but I know not Ole Rasmussen.

    I did meet Tommy Duncan in 1964 and he was up in the tooth. He said Bob Wills wanted toplay every night and he had enough of that. GREAT MUSIC AND SWING--luv it

  • I wish todays musicians would do these kind of shows.

  • Marty Stuart show on RFD network

  • Thi is awsome!

  • Like that song...

  • is that fiddler on the left johnny gimble? it sure looks like him

  • Sure does. But what's wrong with him? Where's that big smile? And he doesn't seem to know the words.

  • I love my love of western swing to Johnny Gimble. I was heavily into bluegrass (about 10-11 yrs back) and picked up a "bluegrass" album (that ended up having all types of country on it) and heard the song "just because." After that, I was obsessed w/ western swing. Got into Bob wills, Milt Brown, Hank Penny and all of those guys.

  • Not Johnny Gimble

  • Another great song by a great one.

  • I like this - people don't perform like this anymore. It's so good-natured.

  • I don't like the way that fella steals Bob Wills' stage routine. He almost seems embarassed to be acting like Wills.

  • Obviously you didn't know Bob very well. Tommy is in no way stealing Bob's routine. And, Tommy had been embarrassed enough by Bob's routine to try and copy it.

  • Western Swing rules, it's rock'n'roll before rock'n'roll.

  • Tommy Duncan, The best. Thanks for adding this!
