"The Yellow Rose of Texas" is a traditional American song dating back to at least the 1850s. Members of the #WesternWritersOfAmerica chose it as one of the Top 100 Western songs of all time. Many versions of the song have been recorded, the most popular of which was by #MitchMiller, whose version reached No. 1 in the United States in 1955. Its popularity made it an unofficial state song of Texas (the actual state song is "#TexasOurTexas").

Status update: gig work not quite half done. #Procrastination #toot count: 7. High-energy music playlist (contents: anything that slaps or makes me feel happy) is currently blasting the 1997 E-rotic #EuroPop #EuroHouse #techno #remix of Angel Eyes by #ABBA. Nope, I type too slow, now playing is the #MitchMiller marching-tempo orchestral/band version of The Yellow Rose Of Texas. Intoxication level: buzzed, but not yet too drunk to work.

Onward, with vigor!

“Holiday Sing Along With Mitch” was released in December, 1961 and reached number one on the Billboard chart.

Choral conductor #MitchMiller’s popular Sing Along albums inspired a weekly NBC variety series (1961-64) featuring tenor #BobMcGrath (1932-2022) — later a star of #SesameStreet.
