“I hope you play it loud and snap your fingers to the music. ”
Roger Miller’s 1964 song “King of the Road” will always remind me of my Dad, Howard.
Our family lived in Canada and had a nomadic life. When I was little my Dad was a travelling salesman selling encyclopaedias, vacuum cleaners and even knitting machines.
He loved music and played a little guitar by ear with his ‘Country Pals’. This song was a favourite of his. My Dad was our family’s King of the Road.
It’s not played much any more, so it makes me happy to introduce people to my Dad’s classic traveling song.
I hope you play it loud and snap your fingers to the music.
