faith of old
Oct 18^th, 2007, 11:30pm

Sitting here at the fire side, I think of the Duke and his great movies that have enjoyed and learned some great morality truths from.
in the 1960`s me and my dad would rush to the latest John Wayne movies as soon as they were released.
Thinking back my dads favorite from the duke years past,
Not sure in this pic, but "She Wore a Yellow Ribbon" was my dad`s favorite.

Well any who just looking at the fire and thinking of old times, when my dad showed me that all fathers are not some old duffer.

True, fathers can be more if they care enough to. Thank you for this. really good!

Well the cowboy, like the red man, you had to leave your land
You can't raise your stock and plant your crop in the gumbo and the sand
Greed disguised as progress has put us to the test
They won't be glad until we're gone from our home out in the west
It's sad to see those good old days replaced with greed and doubt
Soon we'll leave the country, the campfire has gone out
Bid 'em all adieu, you can't turn the world about
The cowboy left the country, the campfire has gone out

red river was excellent, but i think Rio Bravo and the cowboys was little better followed by the Rooster Cogbern movies he did. oh and Rio Grand was really good too!
