acceptable version: Ventures
unacceptable version: Willie Nelson/Johnny Cash

The Sgro bros. may do this tune at Dallas. It is one of their better ones.

Maybe not. Gene Autry might pass. I know that Vaughn Monroe does. Vaughn played this tune once... and was paid 1000 dollars. I have played this tune 1000 times....and I haven't made a dime on it yet........bada bing.

Happy Trails...I love it!
Smojoe, I got to learn this one, dude! ;D
I did a recording of "Ghost Riders" for the Sons of the Pioneers... Talk about great guitar players!

Great line, some-joe! Reminds me of, "Jazz musicians play a thousand chords in front of three people and rock musicians play three chords in front of a thousand people."
The song, though, eludes me. Never heard it!  ;)

True name Bluesy is:  "Riders in the Sky" by Stan Jones in Gm. Check out the version by the Shadows on you tube.
