Dear, family of Roger Miller,
I first had a chance to hear the legend " King of the
Road" when I was a Highshool boy, about 30 years
ago. 3 years after then, I joined the ROK Army where it's
hard to have time to listened to it. In 2000, I had a chance
to study in Defense Language Institute(DLI), TX, the instructors
let us study about anything and give our class a speech. I
decided to search Roger Miller from Biographical Dictionary
which DLI's Library had in there. After the study, I gave
a speech to my class. Oh, Iforgot to tell I was lucky to buy
the last cassette of Roger Miller at a Mall near Austin begore
the class. I didn't know the tape was going to be used. And
I never found it in Korea. I played it during the speech and
the instructor was dancing with music and the class was cheered.
I never forget the time when I realized Roger got his ear
painful by a Train Engineer when young Roger was running beside
the train and Roger stole a guitar to compose music. Now the
tape I bought was cut itself while playing in a player one
day. But, I'm happy to listen to his songs at this home page.
I appreciate all your efforts. Very Respectively...
Chul-woo Yee
Dae-jun, South Korea

One of my earliest childhood memories was Roger Miller blaring
over my mom's stereo. My sisters and me knew that when the
needle on the stereo played that first note on one of my mom's
many Roger Miller albums, it was "turn off the TV, raise
up the windows and get busy". Several years ago, my oldest
son bought me the box set and I've about worn it out. He liked
the music so much, he copied my set and took it with him to
Afghanistan. My sister was over the-other-day and was complaining
about the music her sons listen to so I went and pulled out
my box set and told her she should borrow it and listen to
the music. She called and we started singing the songs over
the phone - his music is timeless. I've been trying to find
"The Day I Jumped From Uncle Harvey's Plane", and
have been unsuccessful. If you know where I can purchase the
CD, please pass that information on, it's not on his box set
and it's a must for my collection. Mary, I know you
miss your Roger dearly but I hope you're comforted through
the legacy he left through his music. The man was and will
always be a genious. Thank you.

Hi, Mary,
My name is Randy and I live in Porterville, CA. I have been
a life-long Roger Miller fan to be sure. His influence on
my life as a singer, songwriter, and musician is great. Imagine
my joy when I got to play music with and become good friends
with Roger's brother, Wendell! I only wish that I had had
the opportunity to meet Roger in person. Thanks for this site.
It's great! Take care.

Hello,
I am 44 year old male from PA. I just wanted to tell you all
of the memories of Roger's greatest hits I have. My father
and I would get done with remodeling the house and sit and
listen to his wonderful music. I new most of the songs by
heart and can still sing some of them word for word. Some
of my fondest memories of my father(God rest his soul) are
those great times. He (ROGER) was a great music man. His way
with words is unbeaten to this day. His songs will travel
thru my generations. May God be with you!

I enjoyed my 22 yr. old daughter today. Thank the Lord!
She came home to plqy for me a song she heard. "I
gotta do whacka do whacka" et cetra, you know it.
My POP was in Korea/Vietnam
and I grew up with JOHNNY CASH,
ROGER MILER, PATTSY CLINE et -cetera, and we are from Cape
Cod Mass, New England. We are not "COUNTRY".
It was an awesome moment when she came home from college to
play for me
"Do Whack". She said, OH MY GOD,
IT IS A REAL SONG!!!!!!!!!!Humor is priceless.
One more thing, Rogers work on "Robin Hood" and
his Nottingham song is a family treasure.Thank You and
Thanks to Roger for the company

I was born 19 years after Roger Miller and was fortunate to
grow-up listening to his songs. Interestingly enough,
I honestly do not recall hearing "Walkin' In The Sunshine,"
but recently have started singing it! So somewhere in
my subconscious, I must have heard this song, but again, in
my conscious state of being, do not recall ever hearing the
melody or the words. So if anyone knows the rest of
the lyrics to this song, I would appreciate their being shared.
Thank you, Roger Miller & company!

Dang me
I am about to infuse a new generation with words that
have lived in my soul since I was a kid. Roger's song touched
a part of me that infused the fabric of my life. My friend
is Dan Gaffney (Dan G.) Get it? Of course, you do! Whenever
he writes that shorthand for his name he will recall that
I sung Rogers song to him. Less than two minutes of song lasted
a lifetime in my brain and persisted to this day. To so clearly
enunciate the dichotemy between self and community is the
product of genius.
Wow! What a legacy to mankind.

when I was youg my parsnts had a brand new 1963 Chevey. We
often drove from Indpls to sourthern Ky. to visit Grandparents
and family.It was a real long trip on two lane highways in
a car that had no air and low Heat to conserve gas.Sometimes
I would be laying in the back really bored and Roger Miller
would come on the radio station and his music would just make
me happy. I didn't know the meaning but I knew all the words.His
laid back attitude and happy go lucky voice made the next
few miles much better.Now that I have children ,and when I
get a bit stressed I can sing trailer for sale or rent and
go to that same little place in the back seat when my biggest
problem n the world was those hot sticky car seats and the
man in the front seat singing when I wanted to hear The radio.

In the mid 60's (when I was only 9 or 10 years old) I was
already into music. My collection included The Beatles,
The Dave Clark 5, The Rolling Stones, The Animals, and Roger
Miller! A friend that I work with heard "King Of The
Road" on the Brokeback Mountain cd recently, and was
talking about it today at the office. The whole staff
immediately began a discussion about Roger Miller and his
songs! Billy Joe

Roger is a national treasure--his music is a natural
anti-depreesant (especially, "Walkin in the Sunshine").
I pray to his soul daily, which i know is far from at
rest, but still radiating that humanity and wit.
God bless him!

In my youth, I loved Roger Miller. His songs were so
fresh and unique, his style so varied, so original, it was
sheer pleasure just to hear him sing and try to figure out
why no one else sounded like him. I felt he was the
very best, and that others would surely imitate him and that
made me happy as I looked forward to future treasures.
It was many years after he died that I realized I had spent
many years waiting for imitators, and sound-alikes, none of
whom ever materialized. There came upon me a sense of
loss, but then, I transformed it as I'm sure many of his fans
has had to, into a realization that he was a genius--one of
a kind. That is why people will always cherish his work,
his sound, his unique music--what we have is all there will
ever be. For this reason, I am deeply appreciative Mary,
that you shared him with us again in a very special and intimate
way. Your love in giving the world this site is awesome!

Hi Mary,
"Got a letter just this mornin'"
I just popped back after a year or so. Needed a little cheering
up and Roger sure can do that. There's a guy here in Chiangmai
Thailand who runs a bar. He's a nice, well mannered young
fellow from Kansas City, me? I'm from Sydney, I saw Roger
in my home town at the Silver Spade Room, a thrill I'll never
forget. Nice to see the old Smash covers again, I bought "The
Return of", pretty thick cardboard from memory, guess
thats one way to make 'em last. This young American guy? he
lets me sing it, KCS) I go home feeling good every time, Tim
Collins

Throughout my life as a rule I never bought records. I only
listened to songs on the radio while driving.
Through the years I would hear songs from the past and if
tempted to buy one I wouldn't because they would bring back
memories of the past which I didn't need.
The other day I heard a Roger Miller Song on TV as part of
a commercial.
My first thought was, "Boy do I miss that guy."
Now, his songs I would buy because of how much of himself
he put into his songs.
I am enjoying this website because of what a special person
Roger was on this earth. Thank God for Roger.
Boy do I miss him.

My four year old daughter loves Roger Miller. My husband recently
came across a casette that he and his dad used to listen to
of Roger's music. She loves the Buffalo Herd song the best
and sings it all the time. I felt led to write this to you
tonight. On the way home from church tonight, she ask me if
Roger Miller was still alive.
I told her I wasn't sure but we would find out. Then she ask
me if he knew Jesus. I told her I was pretty sure he did.
She then said, "When I get to heaven, I can sing with
him." I know there must be many other familes passing
down his music to the next generation. His wish to not be
forgotten has come true. "All ya gotta do, is put your
mind to it..."

Other than the fact that he was a card carrying genius, there's
not much more to say. I think one of the main things that
always impressed me was the fact that all of his work was
clean. Anyone could listen and not be afraid of some trash
slipping into the song. That in itself is a great thing now
days.
Thanks Roger for many many hours of pure pleasure.

Great site. I always was a fan since "King of the

on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. He always seemed

I'm a singer/song-writer. When people ask what made

Miller. When I was about five, someone bought me a compilation
of his, and I've never been quite the same since. From
Dang Me, to You Can't Roller-Skate..., to Private John Q...
I'd've probably never written a lyric of my own if I hadn't
so thoroughly digested so many tidbits from the master.

In my DJ days I was stuck in a crumby town called Deliliquin.
It was sooooo awful - and so was the radio station there where
I worked. They played just awful music - the ONLY album I
could play - and not get into trouble with the program manager,
was one of Roger's - and, I swear if it wasn't for this mans
brilliant music I would have gone nuts!!
I loved Rodgers TOM GREEN COUNTY FAIR from this era -1968
Well - I guess I'm an old fart now - but I still love his
stuff. How lucky I am to write to you! Thank's to yoou both.

I once worked with a nurse who related a story of driving
(probably in the late 60's-I heard this anecdote about 10
years ago, so some of the details are fuzzy) as a teen from
a small town in North Dakota with her brother on a cold, snowy
winter day to see Roger Miller in (possibly Fargo) concert.
Their old car broke down en route, and they were sure they'd
miss the concert, as they weren't having any luck with their
tentative efforts to fix the car problem, and this was a very
isolated stretch of highway. A car eventually came along and
stopped. The car's solo occupant stepped out, and offered
his assistance, which resulted in an operable car that did
make it to the concert. During the course of the auto repair
session, they recognized, and he verified, the identity of
their rescuer: Roger Miller. He was driving himself across
country to concert dates, something you'd be hard put to find
in today's world of celebrity self-importance. His act of
stopping to help a couple of stranded teens repair their car
typified the accessible essence he relayed in his songs and
performances, that made him so popular. We had a Roger Miller
album on hand growing up, and loved those infectiously silly
songs, but I never had his music around for my kids to hear.
This past year I began hearing Roger Miller songs playing
on our family computer, with my youngest's (15) enthusiastic
singing accompanying the tunes. Had to go get that old album
from Grampa's house to prove she wasn't the first to discover
this unique artist!

I was fascinated by Roger's music even before I knew who he
was. I was seven years old the first time I saw Robin Hood,
and Allan-a-dale was definitely my favorite character in that
movie. For weeks after I saw it, I drove all my friends at
school crazy with my singing of "Robin Hood and Little
John walkin' through the forest...." And his music still
has the same comforting, uplifting, and knee slapping humor
that can carry me out of the murkiest waters of sadness. I
thank him for sharing his gifts with us during his short stay
in this world.

I'm not a fan of country music. But I am a fan of Roger
Miller. He was unique. I saw him many times on
Tv and you couldn't help seeing that he was a great person
as well as being a singer-songwriter. He was not perfect,
he had his problems to overcome and he conquered them.
No doubt Mary Miller had a great deal to do with that.
He made music fun and entertaining. If you listen to
his words and his music you can't help seeing the genius in
the man. Nobody has been his equal for making feel good
music. The world needed a man like him and does again.
I, one of millions, will miss him and I'm greatful for these
web pages that are a tribute to the man and the music, so
many people loved. Thanks for the memories Roger.

I had the pleasure of seeing and hearing Roger for the last
time in Nashville Tn - American Radio Company of the air.
Garrison Kellior & company. I don't know the time frame
but he died shortly after that I belive. I could tell by that
performance that he was a character in life. And he seemed
warm and friendly. Funny guy- The skits were cute and wonderful.
Mary I sent you an email some time back. It seems that Roger
had the 'right' kind of celebrity. He handled it well..

Hello... just a "bonjour" from France. My name is
Vanessa, I'm 22 years old.. and I'm french. When I was a little
girl, my favourite cartoon was Disney' s "Robin of the
wood"... and its wonderfully funny music. It's quite
difficult to find something about Roger in France but I manage.
I think about him everyday and I sing his songs everytime.
I'm just sad to not have had the chance to see him in live,
because of my young age... My only dream now is to can go
in america to visit your museum, but you are very far !
;-) ... I hope a day.... sorry for my english, I work

During the middle 60's I graduated from high school.
Being a country western music person I was one of the first
thru the doors to Mr. Luckys in Phoneix, Arizona. I
remember Roger being in town and being focused from the tables
to do a song by Waylon Jennings. Both are missed by
America. May they both prosper in Heaven and fill the

Let's Talk!
Roger Miller is an artist whose work is so rich, engaging
and prolific that he became woven into a significant portion
of the tapestry of my life while I was growing up. More than
I realized at the time. I now appreciate that part of who
I am today came to me through his humor and his many talents.
A couple of days ago I attended a tribute concert honoring
Bob Dylan's 65th birthday and afterward I kept thinking how
Roger Miller's body of work is wholly comparable. So many
deceptively simple songs that make me laugh, make me cry,
make me think. Songs that make me stop thinking, listen and
smile. Thanks Roger.

Hi Mary,
I'm 49 and recall exactly were I was the
first time I heard "Dang Me" on the radio. I just
checked out RMs greatest hits from the Library and am listening
to it now. What a joy.
My brother is coming to visit soon so I'm
getting a lot of the great music that we loved as kids together.
I noticed a photo of RM with Glen and Roy.
I spoke with Mr. Campbell back stage 3 years ago. He put on
a fantastic show. Roy Clark played in York Pa. last year,
and sold out the place.
There is no disputing music that withstands
the test of time.
Sincerely,
Quince Eddens
