Thanks for coming by and joining up, Steve! I'd love to hear that other oilfield song since I was an oilfield "brat" though my mother never claimed us as such. My dad made an honest living as a welder par excellence with music on the side, a big side, after growing up on a ranch in Western Colorado. The oil industry is booming here, if you make it up here to Grand Junction, Rifle, or a few other places, the oilfield songs would go over well, I think, as well as the cowboy ones. Probably not so much up the road in Glenwood Springs, Carbondale and Aspen, though.

You might be interested in This Old Thread about some cowboy songs which my brother recorded in the 1950s from my folks' old 78s. I am getting ready, next month, to put them on CDs for some more folks. If you are interested, please just add your name in the thread or send me a PM (personal Message) and I will add you to the list.

Thanks, again, and welcome to the Mudcat!
