I remembered seeing part of the made for TV version years ago with county music's Highwaymen and couldn't resist buying a VHS of it about a year ago. Good thing those guys could sing
I enjoy Country and Western music, and was just looking for old "Grand Ole Opry" on YouTube, and for any of you Brits who like C+W also, you might find this British YouTube ad interesting,

Ken Curtis sings "Tumbling Tumbleweeds"
Live From Germany 1986
He was 70 years old...hard to believe. Gives me chill bumps every time!
Keith,
Thanks so much for sharing this video - what a gem! The guy sure could still sing, even at 70, and sounds like he did when he was much younger!
Chester 
Thanks, this is the other one I liked. I think Ken had a drink or two before this one, LOL!

Hang on Jim, need to get worried?
My first instrument....think I was 8. Mom and Dad bought me a plastic one...told me I had to prove I was really going to learn it before I got wood. Well, less than a year later, under the Christmas tree was a brand new BARITONE uke, closer to a guitar size. First guitar around 12 and been playing it ever since. The ukelele is VERY easy...chords are simple and you don't have so much trouble manipulating your fingers to reach them. Get a good book and just learn a few simple songs with only two or three chords each. Play and sing them a lot so you get used to changing chords rapidly. Then, you will be off. Friends of mine are Hawaiian and used to live in the States. Kam was a fire and knife dancer, and Lale taught hula dancing and had a band. She STILL plays the uke in the band some. They are back in the islands now. Kam is too old for the fire and knife dances....they are really very dangerous. I remember one performance where he cut himself badly but finished it on stage without even dropping the knife.....boy, was he a mess when he came backstage!
Lale still teaches and performs. Heh, Sue, you may be famous one day.....just don't take the Tiny Tim route, LOL, KPKEITH You should be able to play it the very first day.

I Don't think you have to worry.

It's Chester who is attempting the Uke, but if I get famous, I guess she would be also.

Hey Jim,
perhaps you can do a Tiny Tim look-a-like as well as Duke!!
Heaven forbid. Keith, shame on you. Sue would just DIE of embarrassment, LOL................Jim, try more for the Ken Curtis songs. Actually Duke DID really sing a song or two in later years...one was in True Grit or Rooster...that is an idea. Just don't get drunk to sing it, LOL! KPKEITH

Jim could be good if he had a nose job.
Keith, I don't think we've had a thread of
Which Movies did Duke Sing?
Perhaps you would like to start one?
However Duke's Lone Star movies would not count, as he mimed!
Jim could be good if he had a nose job.

A nose job might be a bit pricey, plus I kind of like my old nose!
I probably would do a good job miming. I could mime the mime.

Hi Keith, I can only remember a few, and he didn't sing a whole song in but one, I think. Suppose I could though if no one else does. I have NEVER started a thread, LOL. Guess it is not a big deal, but it scares me a bit! No one ever comments on my Ken Curtis songs except for Sue and Jim....I was surprised at that. Guess everyone has already heard them. On the other places I posted them, I got tons of comments. This board just knows their subjects too well.
Well, I have all the Dean Martin tapes and Duke was a visitor a few times. This is NOT what we are talking about, but he actually DOES sing at the very last........GREAT lip sinker! Seeing it also reminded me of something MOST important to me. Have to research the Johnny Carson show. KPKEITH

Thanks Keith for re-sharing this with us, as we have seen it over the years many times. It's a Great example of Duke and Dean working together.
In this day and age, its amazing the copyright holders haven't banned it from youTube, like they have done so many others.
Chester
LOL, Jim....I was going back to "FIX" your YOU TUBE for you, but looks as if Sue has already gotten there. Yep, I LOVE to watch Duke mingle with other stars on TV shows. You get to see him in a whole different light. I am pretty sure he was in Dino's "closet" one night when he opened the door! KPKEITH
