JJkizak Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 I caught the Roy Rogers blues show on PBS the other day and was completely blown away. I never heard of this guy. Where do they come from? JJK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Roy Rogers plays some great slide guitar. If you've never heard him, you should make a point of checking him out. There are some clips on youtube, btw. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jheis Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Roy Rogers is a local NorCal/North Bay boy (Roy Rogers is his real name - he was actually named after the singing cowboy). His band, the Delta Rhythm Kings has been playing together for about 25 years. He's probably best known for his work with John Lee Hooker's band in the 80's including producing the Grammy winning album "The Healer." Also did a lot of work with the late Norton Buffalo over the years. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLSamuel Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Lawrence Welk... a wonderfulllll a wonderfullll Always watched it with my Grandma. Always watched it with my parents growing up. I think it was the one TV show Dad made it a point to watch. Even went as a family to see him at the Indiana State Fair. I was pretty young then ... about the only thing I can remember is a bunch of old (at least they seemed old then) dudes in bright electric blue blazers. Not my musical tastes but I'd watch it in a heartbeat with Dad and/or Mom if I could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merkin Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Lawrence Welk was on every saturday evening about 7:00 pm in our town. My parents would watch it while they were getting ready to go out to a local dance like a silver wedding ro the local firemans dance. My sisters and I would have to have it on while we were making a chef boy r dee pizza. I have heard some of Roy Rodgers the blues man. Very good.

winchester21 Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 I remember being dragged over to my aunt's house as a little kid on Saturday nite. LW was on the TV with that awful champange lady. I would have cut my wrists except all of her knives were dull. I was not alowed to go outside and I was forced to watch it. Dont think I will be buying any LW CDs anytime soon. The show deserved an Elvis Pressley/ AR-15 number on the TV Have not heard of RR- dying to check it out after reading this- Blues junkie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mallette Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Do any of you remember actor Pat Brady and his 1946 Willys Jeep "Nellybelle" from the Roy Roders show? But of course! I recall the thrill of seeing him and Dale Evans ride full tilt into the rodeo arena at the Four States Fair and Rodeo about 1963 or so. His big joke was that underneath all that glitter was "...the rattiest underwear you've ever seen." Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
