>Gene Autrey and Tex Ritter were my favorite >singing movie cowboys.

You'd get along good with my Dad.
He talks about those singing cowboys and you can tell it meant a lot to
him as a kid.
He grew up in the Depression and his family was "subsistence farmers"
until the late 40's when "industries", as it were, came to the area.

It was *the* big deal to go to the theater and watch the cowboy movies.
Usually, they just listened to the radio shows.

I used to vidoetape old cowboy movies off of cable for him, all the
time.
His hunting cabin is stuffed with them now....:))


>The Carter Family, Jimmy Rogers, Ernest >Tubb, Bob Wills.
He's got piles of albums he's had for 30 years. Some of those folks are
in there, and bunch of other ol' hillbilly-country singers too.
Loves that stuff, he does...:) 

When I was 4 or 5, he'd lock us in the bathroom, play his guitar and
we'd both sing "Birmingham Jail", "Red River Valley" and "Tom Dooley".
>he locked us in 'cuz Mom would start >screaming for us stop...neither
of us can sing >worth a damn...:))
