Bargain Tex

While at the Salvation Army Thrift Store the other day I found a record, "Tex Ritter: An American Legend." It's a three-record set and includes such hits as "High Noon" and "Jingle, Jingle, Jingle." With commentary by Tex, it's a rich experience to listen to this music and his voice, singing and describing how various songs came to be recorded. The best part is, I only paid one dollar for this treasure.
Is this a great country or what?

Thanks for reminding me of Tex. Need to get an imeem album of his music to listen to.

Watching the morning after as I write this morning. It was Mother Nature at her worst - and most magnificent. Lots of trauma and damage but we (civilization) beat the bitch at her worst
