Hard to believe but it's 50 years so far for Asleep At The Wheel and we are celebrating with a big show October 15th. Ray Benson stops by for a history lesson of the Wheel and let's Bob and Monte know about a secret special guest. WOW

He is a Texas music legend! Benny McArthur from the Ace In The Hole Band and from Texas Jamm Band joins Monte and Bob and talks about his early days at the Spoke.

This man is a LEGEND.....Bobby Earl Smith talks about his journey to Austin, his first gig at the Broken Spoke and many more legendary Austin Music Stories. Mr Smith is one of the reasons Austin is known as the Music Capital of the World.

Randy Steele joins Bob and Monte for more tales about Buddy Holley

I am a huge Buddy Holly fan and so is Monte, but we have met our match. Our buddy Randy Steele shares his love for Buddy Holly and his music.....fascinating stories and tales. And this is just Part 1 of our conversation.

Great insight from Alvin Crow on the history of the Broken Spoke and Alvin's story of talking Mr. White into hiring a kid from San Marcos named George Strait. Also a Tom Petty connection with Alvin from his Tulsa days. Amazing tales.....just listen.

Right beside the B-2 booth at the Broken Spoke, there is a Waylon Jennings guitar. Bob and Monte swap stories about the legendary Waylon Jennings and find out that they were at the same Waylon Jennings concert in 1979 in Lubbock.

James White's daughter, Ginny, joins Bob and Monte and recounts her favorite nights at the Spoke including the night Garth took the stage.

It's a new season for Tales of the Broken Spoke as we honor the legacy of the late James White

Great insight to Rodney's songs plus the scoop on Rodney's new album "Texas" which is a masterpiece.
