In 1951 best I can remember I was in the Air Force at San Antonio. Bob Wills and the TP's played a dance at an old school house at some place 30 or 40 miles south . I was already a fan of BW music but not familiar at all with any bandmembers except for Bob. Maybe I had heard of Tommy Duncan, I don't recall. Anyway, I made that dance and it was super and remains one of my fondest memories of the air force days. As I recall, Tommy Duncan was not along. I don't know who did lead singing, but I do remember Bob and his left handed fiddler going at it. Of course it wasn't such a big crowd but Bob put on a top notch professional show. Bryan
