Kenny Roberts sings Hush Puppies ;
The picture is taken by big brother Sander Macham and is of Mark and his sister Melinda when they were wee little munchkins. They were both adopted by Sanders parents, Alex and Melva Macham. Mark and Melinda lived in an orphanage Canada and were brought to the U.S. to be raised. AREN'T THEY CUTE?!?!? Mark...where'd you get that doo? Snazzy..
Kenny Roberts foot stompin good time cowboy song.
Recorded from the orange Coral label 78 r.p.m.record.
Released somewhere between 1948 - 1953
The song is from one of many 78 rpm records that Mark found at the store where he worked. It's one of the funnest tunes you'll hear.....but it's not alone....we have a few of these gems too! The lyrics are a hoot!
Love the old Cowboy records.
Picture of my sister ( Melinda ) and myself was taken by our older brother Sandy Macham.
Everett,Washington.
Early 1960.
The story of how I found the record,
Years before I started working at the (now defunct) book & record store, I used to visit there as often as I could. On one occasion I met the man who was running the bookstore at that time. During our conversation I had asked about 78 rpm records, he said that he had many upstairs but no one goes up there without his consent. That seemed to be that....until one day he approaches with a proposition, I go through his mess of 78's, straighten it up so that he could present his collection to buyers and I get a deal on any 78's that I might want...except I was to give him all of the SUN label records. I accepted with the understanding that if he was selling any of his SUN records that I would have a chance at them once he had them appraised. Well, I found several and he never offered one back....he just sold them off. I used to spend hours in a dusty/musty dark room (upstairs of the record store, before & during the time i worked there) going through thousands trying to guess which one is worth the effort... you have to, there was literally thousands waiting to be discarded. I just can't process the thought of what didn't get saved! I used to find these little gems and purchase them. As soon as I did, I would feel like I couldn't get home fast enough!
