I was with my Uncle, Fred Foster, in downtown Nashville, Tenn at a home where musicians hung out. Roger Miller came in and everyone greeted him. Roger said he had recorded a song that day and if it wasn’t a hit he was going back to Oklahoma. Someone told him “lets hear the song”. Roger picked up a guitar and sang “King of the Road”. The rest is history!.

Roger was one of a kind. As was Danny.

Great playing by all. Sure miss Mr. Gatton.

What a toe tapping evening that was! Roger Miller made his mark. He is missed! If you look up talent in the dictionary, you will see a picture of Roger Miller for sure.

*Roger was truly a unique CRAZY Wild Guy talent !* thanks for uploading this.

The Ace of Aces Danny Gatton

I loved Roger , his songs where great , especially his love songs such as ‘ When Two World’s Collide.

God pls bring him back

This is amazing. Legends. ❤️ Miss Danny and Roger immensely.

Gatton and Miller - both brilliant

So awesome! Never seen Roger play the fiddle before... and of course Danny Gatton is always incredible

Killer band, and of course a pair of excellent guitar players; but I can't explain the appeal of Roger Miller to anyone. Both the fiddle and the vocals sound off pitch to me. What on Earth was Danny Gatton doing in this band?

I will mediate here guys: Danny was one of the finest guitar players of all time, Roger Miller was a one of a kind triple threat entertainer, songwriter and musician + great comedian, Danny and Roger had a definite friction between then due to the fact that Danny took his playing VERY seriously and didn't like being made the brunt of Roger's jokes while performing, and lastly Roger's fiddle is out of tune/off pitch on Introduction to the Blues! Case dismissed!
