Song Of The Day #1035

My Grandmother on my mother's side, Helen Enid Keith, was born on March 7, 1895.  Her favorite song was Bully Of The Town.  Mom said she would run into the house anytime it played on the radio.  There was also some speculation that one of the reasons she liked the tune was because of the fightin' ways of my grandfather, John Robert McCarey.

So Ranch Radio's selection today is the 1936 recording of Bully Of The Town by the Prairie Ramblers.  The tune is on their Oregon Trail CD.

This one is for you Nana.
