[QUOTE="Forgalspop, post: 3955958, member: 46636"] This first time I ever heard the song, [B][I]King Of The Road[/I][/B], by Roger Miller I was a kid listening to radio via a crystal radio set our father made for us. That was one of my favorite songs as a youngster. Today I was listening to a playlist I made of older country on my new ear buds and the song, [B][I]King Of The Road[/I][/B], played and I found I still enjoy that song. Roger Miller wrote some clever lyrics. Going back in time, and remembering clearly the evening I first heard that song, got me thinking how much things have changed; especially technology. The music coming from my phone to the ear bus is fantastic. Only science fiction writers could imagine the technologies we have today, compared to when I was a young kid, being pleased to hear, Roger Miller with a pair of headphones that had very marginal sound, connected to a crystal radio. I remember my first transistor radio and thought I was shitin' in high cotton. I can’t even imagine what the technologies will be 50 or 60 years from now. The advances in technologies the past 60 years…………....were once only science fiction. For some young fellows that might know, Roger Miller grew up in Erick, OK. His is a true Oklahoma success story. He lost his mother at a young age and was raised by dirt poor relatives in Erick, OK [MEDIA=youtube]4c7D0YsgnrE[/MEDIA] [URL unfurl="true"]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Miller[/URL] [/QUOTE]
