Heck, it's been enough years ago, I don't even remember WHO found this ODD-BALL cut, off the very end of Van Halen's 'Diver Down' album! Odd-ball INDEED! A slightly-over one minute version of an old Roy Rogers 'sign-off' tune, at the end of a Van Halen album?
We BOTH though--- having nearly identical senses of humor (I used to go over to Dan's house after school every so often, and we'd read MAD magazines together-- and goof-around, laughing for HOURS!)-- felt it was the EXACTLY RIGHT way to sign off our show EVERY afternoon! (we were the last show on the station, which signed off at the end of each school day.)-----
This is also the reason / story, behind the way I've always signed off most of my correspondence with friends & family over the years--'HAPPY TRAILS'! It's my way of remembering those goof-ball high school D.J. days, and my old buddy Dan. God Bless you old pal! Wherever you are!
