That would be Larry "Wimpy" Sasser. And he looked pretty happy playing such a classic shuffle!

Larry sure looked like the happy camper didn't he?

Now that's the way country music is supposed to sound. And did ya notice that was Hoot Hester playing the Fiddle.

Larry's my latest idol.
Not only does he play great with a good sound, but it looks like he is having fun while he does it.

Did Roger Miller write this song?

Bent, yes but I think he may have co wrote it with someone.

Thanks Fred,
Not your typical Roger Miller "Can't Rollerskate..."
funny type song. It just shows the man's enormous talent. That man was in the top 3 songwriters. He left us way too soon. Rest his soul...

The "Trip to the country" Record by Roger Miller is for me "The one and only best COUNTRY record ever made"
I guess I will die before another country record will beat that one!
