Riders in the Sky

For a few years I've been wanting to take Jeff to a show at the Heber City Cowboy Poetry Gathering for his birthday. He digs that kind of stuff. But for some reason it always seems to come at such a busy time of the month and we're never able to fit it into our schedules. Well, this year I saw a little blip about it on TV and decided we were going...THAT NIGHT! Even though it was the 1st of November and Jeff's birthday isn't until the 18th, I decided it would be an early birthday present.
So I went online and bought tickets. It was for Riders in the Sky combined with the Utah Symphony, so it was a little unique. It sounds like those two don't mix, but if you watch all the old westerns, the music in them is played along with a symphony. So it was pretty cool. The Riders in the Sky are the guys who did the songs in Toy Story 2. Try imagining this song with the Utah Symphony behind it! (Pause music on sidebar to watch the clips --> )




They also had an awesome yodeler there, Sourdough Slim. Our concert was held at Abravanel Hall in Salt Lake City, so this is obviously not there, but he did this same song and it was insane! Make sure you watch the whole thing on this one!
