Oct. 7, 2000, was a bittersweet day for LeDoux and his family.

Do you agree?

Rest in peace.

May they rest in peace ...

In 1980, the movie Urban Cowboy launched a national 'country club' craze. Establishments like Gilley's, owned by Mickey Gilley, were popping up all over the nation. Inside, people were two-stepping and riding mechanical bulls like John Travolta and Debra Winger.

As we come to the end of another week, it's time to break out another great country memory from the past with this week's edition of Flashback Friday.

March 9 marks the anniversary of the death of Chris Ledoux.  Sadly, he passed at the young age of 56 in 2005.

The other day, I saw someone post about having to brand a lot of cattle over the weekend. So I sent them a link of a Chris Ledoux song I love called, "You just can't see him from the road". It's a song about how even though you don't see them in the movies or in pop culture anymore, real cowboys do still exist and still "make their livin' with a rope".
