I found this song on you tube today and never had heard this song done like this before. I have always been a fan of Johnny Horton and this version of North to Alaska is good also.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvQrJhymdgA

Thanks for finding and sharing this. I too like him. It is sure a lot different from the version that was put in the film.

This reminds me of a bar about a mile up the road.

It's just an air condition cement block structure with no windows, though you can see light through the tiny package store window.

You know the place, with the 20lb bass on the wall and dear heads, etc......

When you walk in, you're in COMPLETE DARKNESS and every eye in the room is on you.... :D

This song reminds me of that bar, probably because I heard it there :lol:

Thanks for posting, and bringing that back.

Hey please not to hi_jack, but actually found video of the place mentioned above.

It sure has changed since I used to hang out in the '90s. Many friends now on the wall.

It looks like they're having more fun than we used to. Following video is family friendly.

BTW, I'm sure they still have North to Alaska on the Jukebox :D

I have Johnny Horton music on my phone I have loved him since I was kid. Sink the Bismarck was a song I heard over and over as a kid.
