And no, it's not Pattie! Bear with me, oh gentle readers. I am experimenting a bit with a music file. Could you comment and leave me a note if it opens all right for ya?
Oh, and the artist is Jimmy Rogers - a fine southern railroad blues kinda guy. My PawPaw played Jimmy's songs on his guitar. I can still see him singing, and tapping his cowboy boot to the tune. Pistol Packin' Papa is another one of Jimmy's songs that my grandfather knew by heart. PawPaw was a Santa Fe Roadmaster once, later he chose a less strenuous role as a Motorcar track inspector. He rode the tracks from Santa Anna to Sweetwater, Texas and back in a big loop. A motorcar was basically a truck fitted with special wheels to use the railroad tracks. At least, in the 60's it was.
Listen Here to The Southern Cannonball
Many thanks to Mick for his help with using music links!
Who Is Cowtown Pattie?
