I couldn't believe it when I saw this on youtube, I had looked for it on the web for a long time, Finally I bought the LP. This is one of my all time favorite songs. The message is amazing and I love the 70's sound.
The artists are the "J.C. Power Outlet" the song song is from their 1974 album "Forgiven"

Fightin' Side of Me
I hear people talkin' bad,
About the way we have to live here in this country,
Harpin' on the wars we fight,
An' gripin' 'bout the way things oughta be.
An' I don't mind 'em switchin' sides,
An' standin' up for things they believe in.
When they're runnin' down my country, man, They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me. Yeah, walkin' on the fightin' side of me, Runnin' down the way of life,
Our fightin' men have fought and died to keep..
If you don't love it, leave it:
Let this song I'm singin' be a warnin'
If you're runnin' down my country, man,
You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me..
I read about some squirrely guy,
Who claims, he just don't believe in fightin'.
An' I wonder just how long,
The rest of us can count on bein' free.
They love our milk an' honey,
But they preach about some other way of livin'.When they're runnin' down my country, hoss,
They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me.
Yeah, walkin' on the fightin' side of me.
Runnin' down the way of life,
Our fightin' men have fought and died to keep.
If you don't love it, leave it:
Let this song I'm singin' be a warnin'.If you're runnin' down my country, man,
You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me.

Happy St. Patrick's Day
Two of my favorite Irish actors (no not John Wayne) Maureen O'Hara and Victor McLaglen.
Together in Rio Grande, Mr. McLaglen playing my favorite character of his,
Sgt. Maj. Quincannon
Ladies first, Maureen is about as Irish as they come. She was born Maureen FitzSimons
August 17, 1920 in Ranelagh, County Dublin, Ireland. She'll be 91 this year :)
Well, I just read something about Mclaglen, He's NOT Irish! But he played Irishmen in most of his movies:).He was born Victor Andrew de Bier Everleigh McLaglen December 10, 1886 in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, England, UK.
How 'bout that for a name??
How to pronounced Mclaglen: Muh-clog-len, not Mack-loff-len(which I've been doing most my life:).
And a song, just finish off the day.
Just a couple more of Maureen in color to show off her hair.

~ What a Day That Shall Be ~
There is coming a day when no heartaches shall come
No more clouds in the sky, no more tears to dim the eye.
All is peace forevermore on that happy golden shore,
What a day, glorious day that will be.
Chorus
What a day that will be when my Jesus I shall see,
And I look upon His face,
The One who saved me by His grace;
When He takes me by the hand
And leads me through the Promised Land,
What a day, glorious day that will be.
There'll be no sorrow there, no more burdens to bear,
No more sickness, no pain, no more parting over there;
And forever I will be with the One who died for me,
What a day, glorious day that will be.
Chorus
What a day that will be when my Jesus I shall see,
And I look upon His face,
The One who saved me by His grace;
When He takes me by the hand
And leads me through the Promised Land,
What a day, glorious day that will be.
What a day, glorious day that will be!

In Memory of Deputy John David Norsworthy
The Solid Rock
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.
Refrain:
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
When darkness veils His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.
His oath, His covenant, His blood
Support me in the whelming flood;
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay.
When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found;
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.
I'm thinking of the Norsworthy family right now, and praying that they know the Solid Rock (Jesus!!) and are leaning on Him.
They will lay John to rest tomorrow, what a hard day for all those who knew him.
I did not know this man but I am so grateful to him for his service to our community.
My heart aches for the family.
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.

All other ground is sinking sand,

His oath, His covenant, His blood
Support me in the whelming flood;
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay.
When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found;
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.

Deputy John Norsworthy..
..He is a Sheep Dog who was injured while on duty and is in the hospital. He and his family need our prayers. But I do think that they may know the Lord as their Saviour. His sister mentions this song in a resent post on the blog about Deputy Norsworthy (Link: http://www.jd3006.blogspot.com/ you can read about it here), so I looked it up and thought I'd share it (Of course I chose an oldies version :).
You'll just have to ignore the talking, I couldn't find this version without :)

'Tis enough
My faith has found a resting place, Not in device or creed;
I trust the everlasting one, His wounds for me shall plead.
I need no other argument, I need no other plea,
It is enough that Jesus died, And that He died for me.

Thank you Lord :)
Go ahead, Drive the nails in my hands;
Laugh at me where you stand;
Go ahead, and say it isn't me;
The day will come when you will see!
'Cause I'll...
rise again; Ain't no pow'r on earth can tie me down;
Yes, I'll rise again death can't keep me in the ground!
Go ahead, and mock my name;
My love for you is still the same;
Go ahead and bury me;
But very soon I will be free!'Cause I'll...
Rise again; Ain't no pow'r on earth can tie me down;
Yes I'll rise again death can't keep me in the ground!
Go ahead, and mock my name;
My love for you is still the same;
Go ahead and bury me;
But very soon I will be free!
Go ahead and say I'm dead and gone,
But you will see that you were wrong
Go ahead, try to hide the Son,
But all will see that I'm the One!
'Cause I'll...
Come again; Ain't no pow'r on earth Can keep me back;
Yes, I'll come again
Come to take my people back.

RR & DE Musuem Memories
A few years ago our family got to visit the Roy Rogers and Dale Evans Museums. We stayed at the Roy Rogers Bunkhouse.
It was awesome, all decorated in western style with lots of Roy and Dale pictures:)
They even had Roy movies for guests to watch, great huh.
I loved the shadow and saddle in the ceiling beams.
On the way into the museum.
This is the 1923 Dodge the took the Slye Family to California in 1930, Roy was 18 at the time. Slye is his real last name by the way.
Roy's Movie six guns!!!!
The Rogers' Family Table it was made for them by George Montgomery (a western star too).
"The Sons of the Pioneers" the best western harmony group ever! And they are still going, they started in about 1936. Of course the members have changed over the years. Roy, Tim Spencer and Bob Nolan were the founding members. Clockwise started with 12 O'clock Bob Nolan (he wrote a lot of their songs, his best known being "Tumbling Tumbleweeds"), Carl Farr, Llyod Perryman, Tim Spencer (also an author of their songs), Hugh Farr and Pat Brady. Not in this picture, Ken Curtis (of Gunsmoke fame), Ken Carson and Shug Fisher and a few more over the years.
Yes Roy really did Mount (he preferred not to say stuffed) Trigger "The Smartest Horse in The Movies"
And then they had to mount everybody else, Buttermilk (Dale's buckskin), Bullet "The Wonder Dog" and even Trigger Jr. in the background.
Sandy's display was one of my favorites, he's one of the 9 Rogers' children.
As you can see by his display he was just a good ole American boy:) Loved playing war games with his brother Dusty (Roy Jr.), and eventually becoming a soldier for real.

He wasn't sent into combat because of disabilities, although he volunteered twice to go over.
And here is Dusty!
The museum which is owned and operated by the Rogers' family has a little show with Roy "Dusty" Rogers Jr. and The High Riders. I took this when we were there, the theatre lights are not good for photography.
He sings just about as well as his father (but I still love Roy the Best), but Roy was much better at yodeling. Dusty's son Dustin now sings in the act, I haven't heard him.
One more shot from the show, the man in the hat is Gary LeMaster He was a member of "The Sons Of the Pioneers" for 20yrs. and he knew Roy.
Notice Dusty's squinty eyes just like his father, it's their Choctaw blood:) .
It is sad knowing that the museum is closing, I planned on bringing my (in the future) children to the museum. But I thank the Lord for allowing me to go. It was like heaven for me, I just loved it.
