TEX RITTER-MY BROWN EYED TEXAS ROSE

Tue, 25 Nov 2008 08:04:08 -0500

Singing cowboy Tex Ritter stood as one of the biggest names in country music throughout the postwar era, thanks to a diverse career that led him everywhere from the Broadway stage to the political arena. He was born Maurice Woodward Ritter in Marvaul, TX, on January 12, 1907, and grew up on a ranch in Beaumont. After graduating at the top of his high school class, he majored in law at the University of Texas.

After a few years of struggle, he briefly returned to school, only to leave again to pursue stardom.

Over the next two years, Ritter starred in a dozen films, including 1937's Trouble in Texas (co-starring a young Rita Hayworth), before Finney's studio, Grand National Pictures, folded.

Young Johnny Cash - I walk the line

Mon, 10 Dec 2007 12:13:22 -0500

A 23 years old Johnny Cash performing "I walk the Line" live at The Tex Ritter Show. This is the real roots of so many things. I WALK THE LINE. I keep a close watch on this heart of mine I keep my eyes wide open all the time. I keep the ends out for the tie that binds Because you're mine, I walk the line I find it very, very easy to be true I find myself alone when each day is through Yes, I'll admit I'm a fool for you Because you're mine, I walk the line As sure as night is dark and day is light I keep you on my mind both day and night And happiness I've known proves that it's right Because you're mine, I walk the line You've got a way to keep me on your side You give me cause for love that I can't hide For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide Because you're mine, I walk the line
