SEPTEMBER 19--
'Archaeological Dig' scheduled in Illinois to find Bob Waldmire artifacts. It will happen in Rochester, Illinois, at a place owned by Bob Waldmire's brother, Buzz Waldmire.
Bob spent time there throughout his life and died there in 2009. (Has it been that long ago?)
Bob was what you would call a collector of too much in this day and age of the frowned upon (I can't think of the word, but know that is also a problem of mine). Just came to me, the word is clutter. I clutter too much.
The archaeological crew will be led by Jim Conkle.
SEPTEMBER 23
Austin City Limits will air "Asleep at the Wheel: A Retrospective" on October 31.
This is the 50th anniversary of Asleep at the Wheel, noted for their Western swing music and what I consider the very best version of "Get Your Kicks on Route 66." They have a CD on my Ultimate Jukebox which gives you an idea of how I feel about them.
Their leader is Ray Benson who has been with them since the beginning after many personnel changes.
He tested positive for COVID-19 earlier this spring.
Of course, they are inspired by Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys and, of course, Western Swing.
