Today is Roy Rogers' 100th birthday! In honor of this, I finally made a tribute video using Dusty's wonderful song "The King of the Cowboys". Sarah and I have been planning this for the past year and a half. So for the past month I have been downloading movies, cutting the good clips, and trying to find a smooth flow to the music. I almost made an error. For some reason I thought his birthday was the eleventh. Was I surprised on Tuesday when I looked up his birth and death dates so that I could make the title slide at the end of the video! Boy, did I rush! In the finished video, there are fifty different clips from seventeen different films and from two TV shows!
Next October 31st is Dale's 100th birthday. So Sarah and I are already planning that movie. Hers will be funnier. Roy's had to be pretty, but Dale's needs all the funny moments from their films. They were so great. Together they were unbeatable! The King of the Cowboys and The Queen of the West. Happy Trails!

THE KING OF THE COWBOYS
He's rode across your silver screen
For over forty years
He's brought bad men to justice
he's seen laughter, and he's seen tears
and I know forever, in many hearts he'll reign
As the King of the Cowboys.
There is honour to his name.
He's a kind and gentle legend
a hero is his name
Showing young folks to see the right from wrong
And he's taught me the very same
And I know forever, in many hearts he'll reign
As the King of the Cowboys
There is magic in his name
He's the King of the Cowboys, a legend in his time
A man who loves his country
Where he will always ride
Saddled up on his golden Palomino
A six gun at each side
His spurs and boots and his white hat
Walks a man with a lot of Pride
He's the King of the Cowboys
A legend in his time
A man who loves his country
Riding off into the sunset
In a western sky of blue
He has given precious memories
and Happy Trails to me and you!
