Don Walser with the Lariat Cowboys
Don Walser: vocal, rhythm guitar
Zoomer Roberts: lead guitar
Tony Quero: bass
Mark Kays: drums
Recorded 13 July 1980
This was a hit for Slim Whitman back in 1952. Don was doing Slim's songs long before they became the stuff of "not sold in stores" TV albums. At the time of this performance, I didn't know where Don got his material. I just paid attention to what chords he was playing and followed along.

What it is...
I've been playing music in the El Paso area for nearly fifty years, and I've accumulated hundreds of tapes along the way. Here they are. Most of these performances were captured with inexpensive portable equipment in living rooms, taverns, houses of worship, festival tents and theatres. Some were recorded off the radio, some directly from public address systems. A few were actually recorded in professional recording studios. Some of these hands are folded now, and some of these voices are stilled. This is what I've done, where I've been and who I've known. This is my scrapbook.
