Song Of The Day #844 (Help with my birthday songs)

The head vaquero at Ranch Radio turns 65 today and I need some help. Should I be like Ian Tyson, Archie Campbell, Ernest Tubb, Pat Buttram or Eddy Arnold?

Should I be like Ian, just looking back in Fifty Years Ago?



Archie Campbell says My Get Up And Go Has Got Up And Went .



Or like Ernest Tubb and keep at Till My Get Up Has Got Up And Gone?



Does Pat Buttram have it right in Old Age?



Maybe Eddy Arnold is on to something in his Older and Bolder.



I know Bob & Randy Atcher got it right, as Sharon and I celebrated our 39th on the 24th of this month, and they sing I'll Never Grow Too Old To Love You. This one's for you darling.

Song Of The Day #841

Ranch Radio brings you another one of our favorite songs concerning modern day events in the West: Claude Dallas by Ian Tyson.

Song Of The Day #841

We had a modern day cowboy song yesterday and Ranch Radio will just stay with that genre this week.

I spoke at the Erik Ness funeral last week, and Michael Martin Murphey was there and gave a beautiful performance. Here's a Murphey tune titled Storm Over The Rangeland (The Ballad of Kit Laney). That was an issue both Erik and I were involved with, and Murphey does a great job of bringing it to musical life.

The tune is on his 11 track CD Heartland Cowboy.

The Proprietor of Ranch Radio took a little spill yesterday, and based on the comments I've received (both public and private), some are getting quite a kick out of it. Some things I've received are damn funny, including this image:
