Thanks for this post. Marty Robbins was an icon of my childhood. “Down in the West Texas Town of El Paso, I fell in love with a Mexican girl” floats through my mind every so often as I remember listening to the small-town AM radio station in our kitchen as Mom went about her daily chores. I also remember scanning the sports page of the Nashville Tennesseean each Monday, looking for how Robbins did in the latest NASCAR race. I wasn’t so much a NASCAR fan as much as I was a fan of a guy who had it made as musician, but who pursued his passion as a racer. And, he wasn’t just a novelty act, he was serious about it and with six top 10 finishes in the Grand National Series. RIP Marty.

The set, the actors, and the song and of course the singer. I do love that arch-top too. Takes me back to the porch in the cool evening with strumming and singing friends Thanks Bob.
