RIDING THE WINDS OF THE WEST 2002 (13 years in 2005) |
|
|
On April 5, 1992, our family's life was blown away by the "Winds Of The West" in the form of Riders In The Sky. It had become a family tradition during the fall and winter of 1991 for my Grandson Jamie, then 2, to curl up on his Grampa Al's lap and watch the Saturday morning TV show "Riders In The Sky". When Al noticed in the newspaper that the "Riders In The Sky" were going to perform at a local theater in April, we of course bought tickets. We had planned on going and having an enjoyable time being entertained by these TV stars. We had NOT planned on adopting them as a part of our family!!!!! But that is exactly what has happened! When Woody Paul waved into my video camera after the show and said "Hi Jamie! Hi Jamie! Riders In The Sky love you, Jamie" he had little idea of the love that he really was implanting in our hearts!
Al and I had both grown up with Cowboys. Roy, Gene, Hoppy......all of the then
popular cowboy stars...and I had grown up very deeply bonded to Roy in
particular. When this new Cowboy, who was dressed extremely similarly to Roy,
waved into my video camera he 'Triggered' old memories and loves that had
been dormant for years.
Today, on the tenth anniversary of our meeting the Riders, our family is celebrating! We are going out to dinner and treating it as a real family anniversary, because it IS one. Jamie was two. Jessie was not even born yet. ....... I didn't know how much I had missed Western Music in my life. We thank you Ranger Doug, Too Slim, Woody Paul and Joey, for filling our lives with thousands of hours of music and happiness. You are a true blessing in our lives.. and the lives of many other Saddlepals and Cyberpals THANK YOU! | |||
