The great song 'Hoofbeats', was
played at the conclusion of the
'Bunkhouse' segment.
In the U.S., country disc jockeys
would not play it because it featured
French horns, so it wasn't considered
'Country', and jocks playing 'Pop'
music, felt it was too 'Western', so go
figure that one out!
Well,what you may not know, it that
'Hoofbeats' was a HUGE hit in
Australia! And I mean, a HUGE hit !!!
So, we weren't alone as big fans of
this really great music piece.
