As a child of the 70s I always knew King of the Road, heck who doesnt. But in the last 10 years I became aware via my kids of his appearance on the Muppet Show! For me my favourite episode by a country mile. And he just belonged there, it suited him and his songs and humour down to the ground. It makes my kids so happy, and the songs from Robin Hood too, they are growing up in the 2020s knowing Rogers music. And Lyle Lovett is a real similar thing to Roger. His album I Love Everybody was a favourite of mine in my 20s, even though i was mostly listening to Beck and Grunge and much louder stuff! Gone waaaaaaay too soon.
Oh, Canada !!! Thank you. Us yanks had fun at the Jazz Festival one year, of course at the Rue Ste. Catherine, and in your lovely Old City. Thank you !!
A few days ago I stopped in to a coffee shop to get some coffee for friends. The name tag for one of the girls said her name was Fleurencia. I thanked her, by name, and she said something I couldn't catch. Eventually it came out, 'You are the first person that knew how to pronounce my name.' That is sad, such a beautiful girl--and name to match. 'Well how else would you pronounce it?' I wondered. I gave her the thumbs up for her pig tails? pony tails? took my coffees and left. That's all there is. I was glad I could pronounce her name. Rock on, brothers and sisters, Rock on !!
Man was equally talented musically and funny…always was. That joke about the lady at the gas station & the hose made really me lol fr..and the one old lady completely straight faced like she didn’t appreciate his (probably back then considered half-racy among some) humor one bit really made it.
Well, I have a big nose, too, but it doesn't necessarily translate into having big feet...if you get the crude direction I'm coming from. I'll throw myself under the bus if it means getting a laugh...or not. Well, we know for a fact that he had a big band.
The song with the chattanooga boys choir was so great , I cried ... Thanks for so many immortal songs Roger.

Burning briges behind me ,
The Cheech and Chong wannabe schtick was a bit rough, otherwise what a great show! Great history here.
Who was the goddess singing with Lovett?
That was a young Tanya Tucker.
Bro you need a wing man...pick me!
