The side of this business in Hot Springs AK has advertised different things. You can barely see the faint outline of the painted over Coke sign under the 10 cent cigar. Who does not want a ten cent cigar? At at the top you see the inspiration for today’s title “Rooms”
Roger Miller’s song, “King of the Road“ released in 1964 continues to rattle around in my head for reasons that baffle me. I never even had the album. But ask me if I know about “Dang Me” or “England Swings” or “You Can’t roller Skate in a Bufffalo Herd” and sadly, or fondly, I remember.
Here is Roger singing KotR, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qk_hPTN50UE.
