Yodeling KG & The Ranger * 2000 Avoca Festival

If you're a baby-boomer or older, then chances are Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, among Rex Allen were among you favorite Silver Screen Cowboy singers. KG & the Ranger are Cowboy and Western song specialists. When they take to the stage, the prairie comes alive. You can hear the Whip-por-wwl, smell the sagebrush and feel saddle-leather rubbing the bottom of your Leivs.

Sonny Rodgers Yodelers Paradise Show at the August 2000 Avoca Old Time Country Music Festival. This 3-hour show was one of Avoca's most popular attractions featuring Yodelers from around the world. In spite of week-long temperatures relentlessly hovering between 97 and 100 degrees, the performers gave it their all and the fans endured.

These excerted clips represent some of the best performances. There are some audio glitches, of which I wasn't aware until I got home and watched the playbacks. Out of 10 film cassettes I shot, two of them suffered from this defect. This would also be Sonny Rodgers last Avoca attendance. His cancer reappeared and the Good Lord called him home in July 2001.

Yep, they're a class act. I first met them at the 1999 Avoca Festival when we performed on the Sonny Rodgers Yodelers Paradise Show.

This is the 2000 Yodelers Paradise Show.

Thanks for posting this video. This duo is my favorite and I try to catch them in person when ever they come 'round. You gotta smile to their cowboy songs.
