But, occasionally I want to talk about me. – Toby Keith I heard one of my favorite country songs again a couple of days ago about a self-centered conversationalist. You know the type!

by The Howitzer Whatever happened to Randolph Scott ridin’ the trail alone? Whatever happened to Gene and Tex, and Roy, and Rex, the Durango Kid? Oh, whatever happened to Randolph Scott, his horse plain as could be? Whatever happened to Randolph Scott has happened to the best of me. – The Statler Brothers Such are [...]
