They don't make them like this anymore. This is country.

Actually, it's western.

Love it.

I wandered around Nuevo Laredo once about 20 years ago. I sure was dumb. I was lucky.

Out in the backseat of Rosie’s Cortina, I made a play for a Mexican girl.

I have a Marty Robbins signed copy of “Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs”
autographed to my name (John, not reallyVerbosus).

I got it in the ‘71-’73 timeframe from a radio station he was being interviewed at in Houston and I was a caller to the show.
He had to leave before I got to the station to pick up the LP, but he did personalize the autograph to me (which I am thankful for.)

Gosh, beaversmom - Laredo was not on that LP, but the song sure brings back memories. My favorite of his was “El Paso”, which is on that LP.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane!

What is the most famous recording of Streets of Larado? I hadn’t heard this version, but I know it isn’t the one I’m familiar with.

I was at a Johnny Cash concert that featured the musician who did the guitar work in Marty Robbins’ El Paso. He might have been the best guitarist I ever heard.
