For no reason at all, except I've always liked his music. He was kind of a Ray Stevens before Ray Stevens was Ray Stevens. "My uncle used to like love me but she died!"

I first became familiar with Roger Miller when I bought the Walt Disney movie "Robin Hood", he wrote three songs for the movie...


"Whistle Stop"
GouLP2GE1M8

"Oo-de-lally"
ST9DUjzNp48

"Not In Nottingham"

Great stuff...

He wrote the music for my favorite musical, Big River.

YouTube - ‪Roger Miller - "Muddy Water" (live)‬‏ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcIsEgX4s-k)

Exellent stuff, all!

Thanks!

Hey BOP, not sure if you appreciate covers, but if so... I must share this one... go to a minute and 30 seconds in and listen...:dance:

I posted a reply, but it seems to have disappeared. Either that, or it's because I'm basically inept.

I have an appreciation for covers, when they're done well. Let's face it, most of the rock and roll we listened to growing up is covers of much earlier music...especially the blues.

Maybe it's the acoustics of the video, but it didn't grab me. Sorry. Thanks for posting it.

:buddies:It's definately the quaility of the video... I have the song on original CD and love love love it.... Then again I have an appreciation for Los Lobos so that may help too.

Wasn't me.
