Goodness!  Are all you guys sleeping in?

I'm an early bird these days.  Once I would hang on to sleep and actually sleep in until 9 o'clock, unless I was working and then it was so hard to wake up and get up

Now, when I don't have to I'm up with the birds at 5 o'clock and in bed again by 10 pm

What has happened?  Is this the beginning of not 'needing' the sleep we used to need?

Yes Audie Murphey was the most decorated war hero... actually I don't think he did cowboy films he did do To Hell And Back, which was a war film.

Morning darkie and all, 

Actually darkie according to this site

 he made a lot of westerns, Destry being one of his best I think.  I remember watching them at the local flea pit each Saturday arvo matinee.  Only thing I can't remember if I got it right was him singing on a horse.  Maybe it was someone else?   A few of them did that.

How's that for memory when I can't even remember what I did yesterday.  😄

I'd forgotten Destry bluepanda... I am wondering if you are thinking of that yodling cowboy on his horse, can't remember Audie singing.

Was it the Hi Ho Silver cowboy?

Hohoho, Our long term mememory stays with us longer than our short term memory :_|

Is time catching up with us?  🙂

Gene Autry was the singing cowboy....his movies were more musicals than westerns.:^O

Hi Ho Silver was the Loan Ranger. I think he was the one who said Kemo Sabay a lot.   He rode around wearing mask.

Gene Autrey always sang  either sitting on a corral fence, on his horse or sitting by a campfire (to disguise him being so short).  Didn't he singalong with the Sons of the Pioneers?  The only songs I can remember is Gene doing Back in the Saddle Again, and the SOTP doing Tumbling Along with the Tumbling Tumbleweeds.

I was more interested in Gene's horse, Champion.

I can remember all the names of the cowboy's horses.

OK OK....remember I was only a kid.

:^O :^O sorry freshwater, but I have to laugh, he was the LONE ranger, not the LOAN ranger... they are the people who want your money ....

Thank you I needed that laugh 🙂

That was it, Gene Autrey was the singing cowboy, gawd I could get sick of him.

It's everything freshwater... we don't want to be disturbed, upset or dislike anyone and our generation of people have learned how to treat eachother - or maybe we were taught when we were young. It's just nice having somewhere to go where we can relax and just sit back and remember or exchange experiences on how we are coping as we get older 🙂 The idea came to me early one morning, when I was tired and fed up and I needed somewhere nice to be 🙂  xxxx

It's a great thread, richo really cracks me up!

O YES, how could I get them mixed up? (How indeed:^O)  Yes he's the one they inflicted on us at the flea pit most Saturdays.  Funny I can't remember what he looked like but I can Audie Murphy... very boyish I think.

I'm having a good laugh too Darki.  I wonder if there is something freudian in there.  B-)  Maybe something to do with the mask.
