This person is here to help us close us out the decade. Who is he?

I think this is Marty Robbins, best known for his song El Paso.

That's right, Jim! That song hit #1 in December 1959.

Nighttime would find me in Rosa's Cantina.
Music would play and Felina would whirl.

I always wondered why the cowboy didn't just send for Felina instead of going back into town knowing he would be shot; I guess that's not the Country music way.

It was his destiny - it was written.

Country music is often mythological and archetypal.
