When I was a little kid, my dad's favorite song was Roy Rogers & Dale Evans's "Happy Trails." Here are the first few verses:


Happy trails to you, until we meet again

Happy trails to you, keep smilin' until then

Who cares about the clouds when we're together?

Just sing a song and bring the sunny weather


Happy trails to you, 'till we meet again

Some trails are happy ones

Others are blue

It's the way you ride the trail that counts

Here's a happy one for you.


So, I suppose it's fitting that FBOL ends (for now? maybe?) while talking about one of America's great Westerns, Larry McMurtry's LONESOME DOVE. Everything is in this book, partially because it's over 900 pages long, and partially because so much of America stopped progressing in the 1870s. This book is everything, and it is wonderful. 


I decided not to cut it down into two episodes, but I understand that two hours of book talk is a lot. I hope you all get as much out of it as I did recording it with Lynne & Leslie.
