1. Ha! I haven't heard that song in 60 years, yet I immediately was singing along.

3. I was, too. My wife stepped out of the bedroom and asked me I were singing to the cat.

2. My Father started out driving truck

And worked in the trucking business his whole life. "King of the Road" was his favorite song.

4. Roger Miller wrote such easy to listen and love songs, his performance was always so light and easy, ...

great for driving.

Only sad song he wrote was good, too ...

6. I was at a nursing convention in Vegas.

We bought tickets to see him when we found out he was there, just for fun. He opens for Gabe Kaplan? While Gabe, when he was on was certainly funny, Roger almost blew the walls off the building. He was fantastically funny and of course a lot of sing along. I remember that so well. I had never been a fan really but after that I was. His musicianship was outstanding.

Always a fun and happy memory, thanks for that this morning.

7. He seemed uncomplicated, open and accessable, he was a lot of fun. And a good singer and performer.

8. PERFECTLY said!

I seriously think he may be the funniest guy I have ever heard. He wasn't what you would expect either. What a treat.

9. Used to sing this all the time when it was out

Loved it.
