I wrote “If I Was Batman” several years ago for Meh.com but I think it’s as true today as it was then

Lyrics for an old classic, pt.2

I couldn't find anything about the background of this song! Such a lovely tune, brought to life the magic of Roy Rogers and Dale Evans singing it together in Roll on Texas Moon (Released September 12, 1946). 10/10 would recommend looking up that scene on Youtube!

(And Gabby Hayes, he's always so great in Roy Rogers' films.)

Dinovember number 23, Parasaurolophus. It's commonly known that Parasaurolophus was musically inclined. Even dating to the mid 1900's, this creature was found in troupes of singing cowboys. Best known was the multitalented Honk Honk who could play ukulele, hit lovely high notes and line dance. You may still find his solo album "Honk Honk Honks the Honky-tonk". #dinovember2018 #drawingdinosaurs #parasaurolophus #cowboy #singingcowboy #honk #ukulele #falsetruths #justforfun #paleoart #artistoninstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/BqhyZGHB3ri/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vtqlk1vahdlz

Gene Autry visits Columbia and Norman Parks barn, 1939. Not sure if he purchased the Mule. Wonder if Champion was jealous? #muleday2019 #columbiatn #geneautry #singingcowboy #backinthesaddleagain #countrymusichalloffame (at Columbia, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/susanelizabethjones_art/p/BvcxutHgDQN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1kwiqlsf6hos2

Whistling While I Work

Not gifted with musical virtuosity, I count on Windows Media Player to provide the tunes while I drudge away in the old home studio.  Considering the TONS OF BUCKS I’ve spent on iTunes and Amazon Digital Music over the years, the old media player gets quite the sweaty workout daily.  Here’s the playlist for the next couple of hours:

Jake Head Boogie -- Lightnin’ Hopkins

Quaker Puffs (1940s Radio Commercial)

Just Another Hole In The Wall -- Lee “Shot” Hopkins

My Funny Valentine -- Stan Getz

Chicken Shack Boogie -- Amos Milburn

One Mint Julep -- Ray Charles

I’ll Take You There -- Staple Singers

Funky Broadway -- Wilson Pickett

Down Where The Sun Goes Down -- Coon Sanders’s Original Nighthawk Orchestra

Prisencolinensinanciusol -- Adriano Celantano

If I Can’t Turn To You -- Groove Kings

If I Should Fall From Grace With God -- The Pogues

Ridin’ Down The Canyon -- Gene Autry

Jimbo Jambo Land -- Shorty Godwin

Walking To Jerusalem -- Mahalia Jackson

Whoop and Holler -- Janiva Magness

Shake It For Me -- Howlin’ Wolf

Idolize You -- Ike & Tina Turner

Ain’t No Sunshine -- Bill Withers

I’m In Love Again -- Fats Domino

Boom Boom -- John Lee Hooker

Secrets -- Steve Pierson

Rehab -- Amy Winehouse

Somebody’s Been Usin’ That Thing -- Al Miller

I Ain’t Drunk -- Lonnie The Cat

Hay Unos Ojos -- Linda Ronstadt

Pin In Your Cushion -- Bo Carter

Let The Good Times Roll -- B.B. King and Bobby “Blue” Bland

Very Good Condition -- Eddy “The Chief” Clearwater

Pig Meat On The Line -- Memphis Minnie

Hot Cross Buns -- Paul Gayton

Fixing The Buick -- Martini Max and the Swing Kats

Don’t Let Your Deal Go Down -- Cowboy Copas

Heaven In A Pontiac -- Bill Perry

John Law Burned Down The Liquor Sto’ -- Chris Thomas King

The Lifeboat Party --  Kid Creole & The Coconuts

That should keep me in the salt mines for the next couple of hours.

I was in a hurry today trying to get all my work completed on a tight schedule and stopped to get a snack in the local gas mart... This man reminded me the importance of living fully in each moment... life is short. The joy and presence of this man has blessed many all over the world including service-members overseas. #singingcowboy🎼🎶🏇 #thesingingcowboy #retiredrodeo #bullrider #broncbuster #joecarta #italiancowboy #spaghettiwestern (at Lisbon, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/B46QjyEApW7iSGJLtaGupFts5okzULSqCzHuUI0/?igshid=uyr8oldc19pu

Lyrics for an old classic

"I'm an Old Cowhand (From the Rio Grande)" sung by Roy Rogers in King of the Cowboys (1943).

Roy Rogers always had to sing at least one ballad in his movies. I've found some of them to be quite the forgotten gem. I picked this one to write down first, and found out it actually has a detailed and astute pedigree.

"I'm an Old Cowhand (From the Rio Grande)" is a comic song written by Johnny Mercer, and it was first sung by Bing Crosby in his Western musical film Rhythm on the Range, 1936. Backstory for the song itself: "Mercer and his wife were driving across the US en route to his hometown, Savannah, Georgia, after having apparently failed to succeed in Hollywood. Mercer was amused by the sight of cowboys, with spurs and ten-gallon hats, driving cars and trucks instead of riding horses. Singing cowboys were popular in films and on the radio then, and within 15 minutes, writing on the back of an envelope, Mercer transferred the image he was seeing into a song whose satirical lyrics vented some of his own bitter frustration with Hollywood." {Source: Furia, Philip (2003). Skylark: The Life and Times of Johnny Mercer. New York: St. Martin's Press. p. 85]

There may be a couple other verses, but these are the ones Roy Rogers sings while playing the guitar, with quite a few nice smiles thrown in.
