I am going to test my aging memory and see if I remember. In 1997 I drove up to Detroit for a country music festival with my girlfriend de jour and Asleep At The Wheel was the first act on the card. Following were Lee Ann Womack, John Michael Montgomery, Faith Hill, Tim McGraw and then George Strait. I had never seen Asleep At The Wheel before, but they opened with 6 Days On The Road and I was hooked. They were out in the lobby at a merch table signing autographs and that was when I got to meet Ray Benson. He was an extremely personable type with a wicked sense of humor. I mentioned that up until then I didn't listen to much country and had never heard of them before, and he smiled and said "I guess we're even then because I never heard of you either." Then asked my name and signed the autograph to me personally. Shook my hand and off I went. I started looking for them after that and saw them a few more times as openers. And I said then as I say now, THAT is what I'd like to put together. 2 fiddles, 2 horns (one of which would be me), 2 keyboard players (one of which would be me) and a pedal steel player. I'd want to sound like a mashup of Bill Wills, AATW, Commander Cody and The Flying Burrito Brothers. Southern/country boogie/swing with a horn section. Alas, in 2020, with bands being what they are, nobody wants to be bigger than 3 pieces because there's no money and nobody wants to rehearse.
