Born and raised in eastern Nebraska. Graduated from Millard High in 1966. I love the oldies and wish they were more readily available. My hope with this channel is to create an archive to educate ourselves and younger people in the music and culture of our times.
My channel is not R rated. Not even PG-13. I remove all comments that contain foul language or are hateful and if repeated I block the member. If you aren't sure what is OK just think broadcast TV in the 1950s and 60s.
The members of this band must have been blown away with Van Halen's rendition of their song. Until now I didn't even know it wasn't an original VH song!
Two seconds in I bailed. I guess it's okay to see them mime, but so many in the viewing audience think they are really playing it. It's good to see the original guys in their heyday.
Sun Set That sun still sets in the west But that old trail is asphalt now Baked by the sun hot and dry The sounds of hoofs have passed Herds of buffalo graze no more Barbwire strung along The fence post passed like a picket fence As the truck tires whine on The sweetgrass has all but gone The mesquite is tall and thick Prickly Pear covers the prairie The Longhorns have gone A saddle all covered in dust The moth-riddled blanket flaps Riding quirt amiss Old spurs hung on a wall On a post hangs a leather belt With a holster cracked and rotting That old hogleg turned brown Brass all green The lassoing cowboy is no more That broad hat tipped back His shirt sleeves rolled high Jeans rolled double His hair thinned and gray High cheekbones darken Bull hide tough Hand scars a many With eyes squinting A straw chair leaned back Daydreaming No more round ups That last ride was long ago With a rolled cigarette on his lip His words in a low key That sun still sets in the west Barry 4/3/2023
