Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Roy Rogers son rides again





Roy Rogers son continues performing with his dad's hit group of the 40's, Sons Of The Pioneers.


Watch it allthe way through, with a kiss and dance from Trigger, from 1944 film. (Yeah, Flatbush, my hood, is in there too!)


Aside from his 100 movies and long-running TV show, Roy Rogers led a top hit Country Western group, famous for classic songs like Cool Water, Don't Fence Me In, and Tumbling Tumbleweeds, still popular today..

American classics. Don't fence me in!

Ken Curtis (Festus Haggen of "Gunsmoke") was the lead singer for the Sons of the Pioneers.

Here the Sons of the Pioneers perform Don't Fence Me In, with a touch of Western Swing.

As Cole Porter wrote the song, it is appropriate to include Ella Fitzgerald singing Don't Fence Me In.

Here Willie Nelson performs Tumbling Tumbleweeds, with amusing commentary from the person who put this on YouTube.

When I was a little girl growing up in Kansas, my first album was Cool water by the Sons of the Pioneers. I would sit and listen to it for hours. Good cowboy, (or cowgirl), music.
