>> “What is it again? Salt River rafting trip?” <<

Oh, my. I thought it was a rattle snake stew dinner with prickly pear ice cream and then a trip to the theater to watch the “Grannys on The Rocks” dance!

;-)(Snicker)

[eyedigress]

Let me consider that. I'm a big fan of the state and know it well. I suggest a Phoenix-Wickenburg-Prescott-Jerome-Sedona-Flag Route. Jerome is nuts. I call it "town falling down" as it does so every decade or so.

[eyedigress]

They were playing “Rocky Top” at the Palace while I was checking out the bar! (I did not ask for it)

[AZamericonnie]

I haven’t been to Jerome in more years than I want to claim! LOL

So much to do...so little time.

Do hope you can join in!

Here's for ya, eyedigress!

Dinah Shore and Loretta Lynn:

Rocky Top Tennessee

and

Glenn Campbell:

By The Time I Get To Phoenix

[eyedigress]

Thanks yorkie, RT written in 1967 in Gatlinburg and introduced to the VOL faithful with lyrics in 1972 during the Alabama game. :^)

[yorkie]

One of the best songs ever written, IMHO!

I found a stuffed dog at a garage sale once - and if you squeeze his hand, he plays his guitar, dances, and sings “Rocky Top Tennessee!” He’s a favorite!

[eyedigress]

Ha! ;^) ,They wrote it in 10 minutes but without lyrics. It was a blugrass string from the heart. What a hit. (Glenn Campbell is one of my old time favorites also, No gratuitous mug shots please the rest of you). :^)

[yorkie]

People used to ask me if I ever knew Glen Campbell - (my son looks so much like him!) ROTF!!!

[yorkie]

That video of Dinah Shore was taped three years before she passed away. She was 74 in that Rocky Top clip. (Hope I look that good at 74!)
