The Lariat Cowboys
Zoomer Roberts: guitar & vocal

I always associate this song with Little Jimmy Dickens. Although he is primarily known for his novelty songs, Dickens was (and is) a fine ballad singer. "We Could" is somewhat of an oddity: it has the construction of a "weeper," but the lyrics are about love gone right. I used to sing this for couples who were celebrating their anniversary with a night of dancing.

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.
