Music Monday - Slim Whitman

I was very saddened to hear of Ottis Dewey "Slim" Whitman, Jr.'s death on the 19th of this month of June 2013. However, it was good to know that he lived such a long, full life reaching the age of 90. I always enjoyed Slim's singing, because I like yodeling, and he was great at it. Also, most of Slim's songs just sound so haunting to me and I love that!

They may have been poking fun at Slim when they used this first song to rupture the heads of invading Martians, but I really loved that a good ol' Florida boy, like Slim, could save the day just by doing what came natural like.
