With election day tomorrow, we've heard over and over again how important Ohio is as a swing state in the presidential election. As they've been saying, "Ohio, Ohio, Ohio". So, I thought it appropriate to celebrate the birth date of the "King Of The Cowboys", Roy Rogers (real name: Leonard Franklin Slye) who was born on this day in 1911, in Ohio! Roy died in 1998, but would have been 101 today.

If you grew up in the 40's, 50's and 60's there was no way you could escape the influence of westerns, western TV shows, western movies and western music. The "King of the Cowboys" was Roy Rogers and today is the 101st anniversary of his birth. His influence on American culture was enormous and included a reference in Toby Keith's song "Should've Been A Cowboy" and this Top 50 duet with Clint Black.
