Those Old Westerns

For my first official post – something for fun.  Are you a fan of old westerns and wonder what happened that movies are filled with graphic violence and sex?  Well enjoy this video http://objflicks.com/thoseoldwesterns.htm that harks back to a simpler time.

I wonder if the early version of Cool Water sung by the Sons of the Pioneers has Ken Curtus singing high tenor in the background.  Anybody know?  Here are a couple of other links to him singing.  One is from Festus Country.  Anyone who can sing like that deserves a free beer from the Longbranch Saloon.  See if you recognize Ken in the first video singing, and yes, that’s really him singing.

If you didn’t recognize him singing in the first video, try this one,

Welcome to the blog home of Bob and Karen

Hello Everybody, welcome to our blog.  We’ll do our best to keep this blog updated a couple of times a week.  It will build in time with pictures, opinions and posts.  Anytime you visit, please leave a comment even if it’s just to say hello or tell us you’ve been here.

This blog is where I will share some of the things I’ve written over the years; opinions on various topics (like politics, gun control, history and science) and general communication on family happenings.  I love hearing or reading others opinions, whether you agree or disagree.  Most of you who know me well know that I don’t offend easily, so let me have it if you disagree.  You’ll also be able to respond to me and others through your comments, so I welcome any debate on any topic.  Only 1 rule, be polite.

Many of you know I have an interest hunting, fishing, world history and science in general – especially astronomy where I spend most of my leisure time researching and reading.  I’ll create links to other websites on the various topics I discuss so you can see where I get much of my information.

I’m sure in the very near future I will be showing Karen how use this site.

So welcome and enjoy
