Totally redolent of those campfire days, Big John - I can nearly hear the sound of gunfire and the refrain, "git along little doggies, git along..." but then that damn harmonica wakes me up and I realize that I'm really not in Kansas - was Toto an Asian breed? Do Siamese Twins pay separate admissions to a double header? Why are those flies attracted to shoes so much? Shoefly, don't bother me...Rustically Yours, , Jimmy Crack George
WOW! This is just fantastic. I have not heard this older version. We watched Gunsmoke during supper in the mid to late 60's. By far the best television show ever. Thanks for the fond memories.
Goodness, John, what a nice rendition. I remember the first time I saw a picture of William Conrad, I gasped! This was Matt Dillon???Ah,,the days of radio and visions in your head. Thanks, I love it. xx Claudia
Pretty cool there, Blinky! I came onto the Gunsmoke scene (as a kid) when the show was in color... scores of years later I checked out the early early black an' white "Chester" Gunsmokes via Netflix. Those early ones were dynamite! Radio show Gunsmokes, I knew of but never heard. Your performance of this theme song is not only fine, but brings out that western Gunsmoke flavor that I have grown to love. Happy 4th of July, Blinky. You're a-ok! -- -Wally
ahhhhh (as i lean back with my hands on the back of my head)

Hi John,
Great rendition!!! You have a very good voice, and a very good vibrato. It reminds me of the "Sons Of The Pioneers' " lead singer!!!
Best Regards,
Dwayne
