Never met Roger. But I did spend a couple of hours in Tootsie's one night...and heard some Roger stories from Jim Ed Brown.

Unfortunately, my memory is fogged by an excess of drink -- so I can't recount a single one of them.

A long-term project of mine has been compiling "The Top 150 Country & Western Songs of All Time...In My Opinion". If forced to cut it even finer, "King of the Road" is a clear Top Ten. And "Dang Me" is on there somewhere.

Thanks for the post. Roger is fun to remember.

Go get sober so I can hear this story. Right now. I demand it!

Jim Ed Brown? Of "the Browns," right? The Three Bells. Little Jimmy Brown.

Oh, that song makes me weep ..

"From the village, hidden deep in the valley ... one rainy morning, dark and gray ... a soul winged its way to heaven ... Jimmy Brown had passed away ... bom bom bom bom ...

...and the little congregation .. .. prayed for guidance from above ... lead us not into temptation ... may his soul find the salvation ... of Thy great eternal love."
