  • Happy Trails with the Bobcat

    Planning to perform in public anytime soon dear music students? Almost anything can happen to distract us from playing. Nevertheless we "shake it off" and keep playing, don't we? It's the back stories that are fun to talk about later with our friends that keep things interesting. I'm seen here playing the amazing Yamaha PSR-E463. Happy Trails was written by Dale Evans for the Roy Rogers TV series. EZ Play Today Cowboy Songs was used for this song published by Hal Leonard, book No. 85. I'm dressed like a cowboy. The horse is in the barn (kidding). Expect more songs from this publication. YEEHA! Thanks for watching.

    "I'm ready to play" you tell yourself every day and yet nothing happens. So, let's begin together with this easy-to-do fitness plan and help from the Yamaha E463 keyboard. First, choose a familiar melody like Happy Trails by Roy Rogers if you grew up watching cowboy movies and black and white TV with four channels. Why? Repetition.
