Another favorite song from my childhood, one that I still sing from time to time all these years later, is Don’t Fence Me In:
That’s one reason I love living in the West. There are still some wide open spaces.

Another favorite song from my childhood, one that I still sing from time to time all these years later, is Don’t Fence Me In:

oh my. Trigger made me think of Dusty. that’s what she looked like!
and i loved Roy Rogers and the sons of the pioneers!
i used to know that song by heart. and it came back to me. 🙂
it could have been written for my dad. it’s exactly how he felt.
i asked him once what he would have been in another era back in time …
he never even hesitated… “a scout for a wagon train.”
thank you for these wonderful posts monk.
i also clicked on ‘ghost riders in the sky’ and enjoyed it. xoxo
Yes, Ghost Riders in the Sky is another favorite. I can picture your father as a scout for a wagon train. (Even though I don’t know what he looked like!) I’m glad you are a touched by these songs as I am.
All I had to do was read the title and the tune started playing in my head. Thank you!
I’m glad you like it too!
I think we all knew the same songs! That song immediately came to me, all of the words intact! I guess it’s due to the radio culture we were all exposed to in our younger years!
It’s nice sharing that bit of culture. 🙂
Saturday morning pictures (England 1950s childrens screenings) often had a ‘cowboys and indians’ film so we all got to know Roy Rogers and Trigger as well as The Lone Ranger and his mate who’s name eludes me at the moment (aka a senior moment?)
The Lone Ranger’s Indian Friend was Tonto. I remember that because of the joke. The two of them are trapped and are surrounded by hostile Indians. The Lone Ranger says, “Well, Tonto, I guess this is the end for us.” Tonto replies, “What do you mean we, White Man?”
That’s neat that you saw them in movies too. 🙂
and there’s even a real horse at his concert – pity about the plastic cacti!
The horse is Trigger. 🙂
Monk, what you should do is to record this song sung by you and post it here.
Yeah, sure. 😀
