Memories Travel
Music: King Of The Road
Artist: Roger Miller
Shared by: Cindy for Howard
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.
“I hope you play it loud and snap your fingers to the music. ”
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.
