I used to enjoy watching Bill Dana and his character Jose Jimenez. Our good buddy Bob Abdou sent us this video he did as a tribute to Bill Dana that he recently performed.
Special not here, Bob is not doing ventriloquism, he’s lip synching his dummy to the actual record. However, if you’re like me and remember this routine, Bob does a great job at re-creating it.
Enjoy.

This was very fun, funny and most of all VERY ENTERTAINING!!! I loved it!!!!
That is sooo funny, Bob. I remember so well, listened to it everytime on radio, in between Bongo Rock, and other great pieces.
That is so funny!
Bob does a GREAT job of that tribute to Bill Dana’s Jose Jimenez. When I first saw Bill perform the bit with Steve Allen, it highly influenced the character of my Francisco.
Tributes are compliments, not theft, when presented as Bob did.
