YUCK!  Even I wouldn't do that to a hot dog.  Quck....everyone to Nathan's for a 'dog' on me!

Now that is a reason to celebrate!!!

[Delmonico]

They finally got them Nathan's around here so I tried them because of there fame and history, don't hold a caldle to what the folks of Bohunk and Kraut ancestory make around here in small shops, were much better than the standard brands, but I can buy much better around here and one local brand is in half the grocery stores including the one I shop at.



Wah, wah, wah, waaahhhh
I dreamed I was there in hillbilly heaven
Oh what a beautiful sight


Last night I dreamed I went to hillbilly heaven. And you know who greeted
me at the gate? The ole cowboy-philosopher himself, Will Rogers. He said
to me, he said "Tex, the Big Boss of the riders up here has asked me to
kinda show you around. Now, over yonder are a couple of your ole
compadres." My, was I glad to see them, Carson Robison and the
Mississippi blue yodeler Jimmie Rodgers.

I dreamed I was there in hillbilly heaven
Oh what a beautiful sight

He introduced me to Wiley Post, and he showed me the Hall of Fame with
all the gold guitars and fiddles hanging on the walls. Then he said,
"Tex, step over this way, there are two more of your friends I know
you'll want to see, they're waitin' for you." There they were standin'
side by side and smilin' at me--Hank Williams and Johnny Horton.


I met all the stars in hillbilly heaven
Oh what a star-studded night

Then I asked him who else do you expect in the next, uh, say a hundred
years? He handed me a large book covered with star dust. Will called it
the Big Tally Book. In it were many names and each name was branded in
pure gold. I began to read some of them as I turned the pages: Red Foley,
Ernest Tubb, Gene Autry, Roy Acuff, Eddy Arnold, Tennessee Ernie, Jimmy
Dean, Andy Griffith, Roy Rogers, Tex Ritter
Whaaaatttt???
Tex Ritter? Oh, well, that's when I woke up, and I'm sorry I did, because


I dreamed I was there in hillbilly heaven
Oh what a beautiful sight


Tex is there with them now.  Andy and  Jimmy are the only one's he mentioned that is left.

[Forty Rod]

If you were Tex Ritter's son would you make westerns?  Helluvan image to try to live up to.

[Delmonico]

I think he was on Gunsmoke a time or two.

[litl rooster]

If you were Tex Ritter's son would you make westerns?  Helluvan image to try to live up to.

Good point

[Ozark Tracker]

Maybe he'll try a western one of these days

[Delmonico]

Now nuthin' again' John, he was an awful nice fella but what role would you have him play, the town milktoast?  Sorry, can't see him in any other roll.
