Copied from another thread. I think Spud lost track of this thread. I hope he sees that Louie posted the lyrics and songwriter information.

I'm sorry. I think I broke your website. I didn't mean to. It's just that everything happened so fast. I just wanted to verify that there once was a song called Utah Trail and that I actually did sing it with my dad's orchestra in Volcano at a New Year's eve dance in 1935. The problem is, I still don't know. Mr. Offer tried to help, but the Riders In The Sky got their song sheets mixed up and played another song about a trail, but it wasn't the Utah Trail. The Billings brothers recorded their offering of Utah Trail on a Victor record at 78 RPM in 1928 and as hard as I try I can't make my ROM drive go that slow. I wouldn't know where to buy the record anyway and if I did I probably couldn't afford it, being that I'm on a sort of a fixed income that nobody's fixed in a long time. I sure like what I've seen of your website. Even if you do have the lyrics to a few of the songs screwed up. Keep trying, though. You'll catch on to it after a while. I have the same problem rasslin with this computor.
I wish it was 1935 again.
