WILLIE NELSON & ROGER MILLER - Old Friends - BEST QUALITY

Few sounds in popular music are as instantly familiar and inviting as Willie Nelson's guitar. His unconventional picking style is the first to be heard on "Old Friends" performed by Willie Nelson and Roger Miller. This song was written by Roger Miller and was also recorded and first released by Miller.
Roger Dean Miller Sr. (January 2, 1936 - October 25, 1992) was an American singer-songwriter, musician, and actor, widely known for his honky-tonk-influenced novelty songs and his chart-topping country and pop hits "King of the Road", "Dang Me", and "England Swings", all from the mid-1960s Nashville sound era.
After growing up in Oklahoma and serving in the United States Army, Miller began his musical career as a songwriter in the late 1950s, writing such hits as "Billy Bayou" and "Home" for Jim Reeves and "Invitation to the Blues" for Ray Price. He later began a recording career and reached the peak of his fame in the mid-1960s, continuing to record and tour into the 1990s, charting his final top 20 country hit "Old Friends" with Price and Willie Nelson in 1982. He also wrote and performed several of the songs for the 1973 Disney animated film Robin Hood. Later in his life, he wrote the music and lyrics for the 1985 Tony Award−winning Broadway musical Big River, in which he acted.
Miller died from lung cancer in 1992 and was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame three years later. His songs continued to be recorded by other singers, with covers of "Tall, Tall Trees" by Alan Jackson and "Husbands and Wives" by Brooks & Dunn; both reached the number one spot on country charts in the 1990s. The Roger Miller Museum in his home town of Erick, Oklahoma-now closed-was a tribute to Miller.

Old friends !!!

[@rollandemarie74]

Just Love these guys , that song also , old friends , as we remember them ,, more as we get older

[@alanwhite9142]

There’s no way to place a value on lifelong friendships, but we treasure them more and more as we grow older, and especially as we lose friends we’ve loved over the years. One of the biggest “hazards” of getting older. I just lost another one and, although I’m not ready to go yet, I hope I’m not the last to leave.
