I'm a transgender woman who has loved music for as long as she can remember. My earliest memories are of sitting or laying on the floor and listening to 45's and 78's. Music is and has been the essential part of my life. I started this blog in 2011 in an attempt to create a list of my favorite music. In April of 2015, when I started my transition to becoming Rachel, I created a new blog to continue the effort: http://rachels-vital-music.blogspot.com/

"Mule Train" by Frankie Laine and the Muleskinners
I've had this song stuck in my head ever since I played this album yesterday. This was the theme song for a Borax TV commercial I remember seeing with my grandpa.
I love the TV clip where he is fooling around with the whip. It is TOO funny! "I've been waiting 6 weeks to get even with camera 3, get ready." (at time 0:40).
I also notice the "KKOK" on the back which makes me suspect this was used at a radio station at some point in the past. I did an Internet search and found this station in Minnesota:

Funny that this record migrated west to Utah :)
