I wouldn't want to ask people to just give me money cause they like my website, but do please take a quick look at Barger's Boutique. You might find yourself a little something-something for 2 or 3 bucks that you just can't resist! Any of the round images you find around MoreThings will get you to an Amazon page to buy my stuff and help ol' Al keep the lights on.
Links
To explicitly state the obvious, these external links go to interesting and provocative websites, but they speak for themselves. I don't necessarily agree with anything they say - especially that no-goodnik Richard Marcus.

Rock rulin' Roger Miller Songwriter and singer Roger Miller was born January 2, 1936. He may be the most underrated country songwriter ever. Most people today know one or two songs: "King of the Road" and maybe "Kansas City Star." He published thousands of songs before his death in 1992, including numerous hits and some others that should have been.
He was most known for the happy go lucky novelty songs, and he wrote many outstanding songs in that vein, but he also wrote a lot of more serious songs such as "One Dyin' and a Buryin'". He also wrote a Broadway musical called "Big River" based on Huck Finn. He also narrated and wrote songs for the Disney animated Robin Hood. [The soundtrack seems to be out of print, so you may have to just download some of it from Kazaa.]
I highly recommend the box set, but you can start out by downloading some of these classics:
King of the Road
Kansas City Star
One Dyin' and a Buryin'
England Swings
Oo-de-lay [from Robin Hood]
The Phony King of England [from Robin Hood]
Guv'ment [hunt down both his and the cast recording]
Dang Me
Chug a Lug
Husbands and Wives [perhaps his best song]
Dad Blame Anything a Man Can't Quit
You Can't Rollerskate in a Buffalo Herd
Engine, Engine #9
