An Old Cowboy Song by Rex Allen

When I was ten or eleven, Rex Allen was one of my favorite cowboy heroes. He made several singing western movies and had a successful recording career. Here's "I Ride an Old Paint."

  2. The tune is a blast from my past, as well. I think every male in our generation wanted to grow up to be a cowboy. Kids these days have no ideer what cowboys are, of course. Except mebbe oppressors o' Native Americans.

  3. George, I always liked Scott too. He made some solid movies that hold up pretty well today.

    Buck, They do learn that "oppressor" stuff don't they? And miss out on a lot of other good stuff from history in the process.
