Jerry, Buddy & Zoomer
Jerry Boyer: vocal
Buddy Winston: vocal & guitar
Zoomer Roberts: vocal & guitar
recorded March 1983
We learned this song from an old Johnny Bond 78 that I found on one of my junkin' junkets. In today's world of torrents, eBay and Bear Family box sets, the idea of spending hours sifting through stacks of old records in search of a gem seems plumb rustic, but 25 years ago it was the only way to find songs like this. Like many cowboy songs of the '30s and '40s, it doesn't tell a story. Rather, it conveys the resignation of being in motion for its own sake. Maybe things will get better. Maybe not. Roll on!

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.
