DESCRIPTION:
Sourdough Slim and Robert Armstrong play "I'm Casting My Lasso" on 24 Jan 2014 at the First Presbyterian Church in Roseburg, OR. Throughout the evening, they offered virtuoso yodeling, hilarious jokes, and heartfelt singing, accompanied on accordion, guitar, banjo, ukulele, musical saw, harmonica, National steel and jug. These two modern-day cowboy vaudevillian song-carriers delight in America's rich musical heritage.

Written by Jimmy Wakely and Lee White, "I'm Casting My Lasso Toward The Sky" was also recorded by Slim Whitman. Lyrics follow:

I'm casting my lasso way up towards the sky
Hoping my loop lands on a star
I'm casting my lasso way up there on high
Hoping it reaches that far

I'm going to keep on trying till I find my rainbows end
I know it's somewhere hiding just around the bend
Someday I'll be riding that new range by and by
I'm casting my lasso towards the sky

I'm casting my lasso way up towards the sky
Hoping my loop will carry true
I'm casting my lasso way up there on high
Up toward the heaven so blue

Old pards that left before me all are watching while I ride
Up there in heaven's round up across the great divide
There up there riding I'm join them by and by
I'm casting my lasso towards the sky
