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."
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.
We all had our cowboy heros, mine was Randolph Scott.

ReplyDeleteGeorge, I always liked Scott too. He made some solid movies that hold up pretty well today.
ReplyDeleteBuck, They do learn that "oppressor" stuff don't they? And miss out on a lot of other good stuff from history in the process.
