My Famous Uncles
Well, maybe not super famous... but sort of. They were well-known back in the 1940s and 50s, as much as many entertainers were back then, at least in the music industry.
Known as Jimmie & Leon, they did lots of “western” singing. In their very early days, they were Smokey and Bashful. They had radio shows, played with Ernest Tubb, and were even in a couple of movies with him. (Hollywood Barn Dance, Jamboree) They also had some groups of their own, such as The Texas Ramblers, but I don’t know who all was in that band with them. Later, together with brothers Buddy & Tommy, they had The Silver Saddle Roundup.
Now, I just have to post this one **YouTube video** of a song my uncles did a long time ago; there are a few of their songs on YouTube.
You have possibly heard this song before because
it’s been done by a few people you might know, such as:
A group called The Beatles...
Well, folks, I know which band I like doing this the best ... what about you?
