That's great. He would sound better if he were in an acoustic friendly room, but even still, he sounds good and I like the song. I also play the guitar, but am not as good as this man. I noticed this gentleman picks with two fingers. Don't see that much anymore, except on acoustic guitars. By picking with two fingers, it sounds like two guitarists playing.
 
Interesting about the two finger picking
sounding like 2 guitars playing, oldman.
Enjoyed listening to the video, meander.

He looks about right to me. His bio says he was 6'4" and 170lbs but he looked like he weighed a little more than that when I watched him (he died in '79). He sure was tall.
What I meant, Lara, was bigger than the other cowboys. He has become a Giant in cowboy lore!:D

I think, (do not know for sure), that he may have weighed 170 lbs. at death. I believe he died from stomach cancer, which is a horrible death. (I had a friend that died from stomach cancer.) He was a pretty big man. I am 6'4" and weigh 215 and am considered thin. When I flew for United, I had to put my seat in the full back position to be able to properly operate the rudder pedals. We had a pilot that was 6'8" and special provisions were made for him.

Very interesting oldman and meanderer.
In high school, my boyfriend, whenever he met a challenge, he would quote a John Wayne movie line and say, "I'm gonna take that hill".
It always made me giggle.

DODGE CITY, Kan. (AP) - Six decades after "Gunsmoke" debuted on television, several actors who appeared in the show, including Burt Reynolds, are scheduled to reunite in Dodge City.
The Wichita Eagle reports (http://bit.ly/1JWXTW3 ) the actors will attend Wild West Fest on Sept. 25-27. The event is hosted by the Boot Hill Casino & Resort, the Wild West Heritage Foundation and the Roundup Rodeo.
Besides Reynolds, who portrayed blacksmith Quint Asper from 1962 to 1965, also attending are Bruce Boxleitner, Buck Taylor, Jess Walton, Lane Bradbury and Merry Florene.
"Gunsmoke" ran on CBS from 1955 through 1975 and was nominated for more than a dozen Emmys.
Other key actors from the show have died, including James Arness, who starred as Matt Dillon; Amanda Blake, who played Miss Kitty; and Milburn Stone, who was Doc Adams.

I was amazed, when I learned that William Conrad played Matt Dillon on the Radio Show! Howard MacNear (Floyd) played Doc Adams.

John L. Barrett
played The Lone Ranger on test broadcasts of the series in early January 1933, but when the program became part of the regular schedule Seaton was cast in the title role. In later years he claimed to have devised the cry "Hi-yo, Silver" because he couldn't whistle for his horse as the script required.

The title character was played on the radio show by George Seaton, Earle Graser,
and Brace Beemer. Clayton Moore acted the Lone Ranger on television, although during a contract dispute, Moore was replaced temporarily by John Hart, who wore a different style of mask.

On the radio, Tonto was played by, among others, John Todd and Roland Parker; and in the television series, by Jay Silverheels, who was a Mohawk from the Six Nations Indian Reserve in Ontario, Canada.
