Roy Rogers Playing Piano?

My good friend Larry Zwisohn sent me this photo and asked when Dad (Roy Rogers) learned to play the piano?  I guess that seeing Dad sitting on the piano bench while he sings away gave Larry the idea that Dad knew what he was doing.

I thought that Larry knew everything about Dad and his musical skills. But, I had to tell him that the reason Pat and Tim have their fingers in their ears and Bob is laughing, is that Dad didn’t play piano at all.

    LOL didn’t see that until you mentioned it Cheryl. I did see Pat’s weird look but thought that was just Pat.

    This is such a fun and great memory, he (Roy) was ALWAYS with a smile on his face. Wished I could have known him better and longer. He was ALWAYS my Hero.!! You’re a pleasure and a treasure to know too. Jim & I treasure and cherish you & Larry and our friendship.

    THAT is the lineup for me! The original guys plus Pat and Lloyd. They sound so good on those old transcriptions with such primitive recording techniques, I can only imagine how excellent they were in person.
