CATCH US AT THE LAST NIGHT OF SHOE SHINE @ SHERIDAN WYO RODEO!
Gregory Brothers Shoeshine started in 2012 for brothers Dalton, Sam & Coye at the encouragement of their Uncle Matt, who gave them a chair, the necessary supplies and taught them the old school art, with a whole lot of finesse. Uncle Matt was a shoe shine boy at Tom's Barber Shop growing up in Laramie and shined shoes after church.
Sam & Coye's Mom says it was where their Uncle formed his sense of humor, as well as many good jokes & colorful vocabulary!
Gregory Bros. Shoeshine is located in Sheridan, WY & you can find them, "shining" at various special events & rodeos.

“Hey, get rhythm when you get the blues
hey, get rhythm when you get the blues
yes a jumpy rhythm makes you feel so fine
it'll shake all the troubles from your worried mind,
get rhythm when you get the blues.
Little shoeshine boy never get slow down
but he's gt the dirtiest job in town
bendin' low at the peoples' feet
on the windy corner of the dirty street
well, i asked him while he shined my shoes
how'd he keep from gettin' the blues
he grinned as he raised his little head
popped a shoeshine rag and then he said.
Get rhythm when you get the blues
hey, get rhythm when you get the blues
it only costs a dime, just a nickel a shoe
does a million dollars worth of good for you
get rhythm when you get thee blues.
Well, i sat down to listen to the shoeshine boy
and i thought i was gonna jump for joy
slapped on the shoe polish left and right
he took a shoeshine rag and he held it tight
he stopped once to wipe the sweat away
i said you're a mighty little boy to be-a workin' that way
he said i like it with a big wide grin
kept on a poppin' and he said again
Get rhythm when you get the blues
hey, get rhythm when you get the blues
get a rock 'n' roll feelin' in your bones
get taps on your toes and get gone
get rhythm when you get the blues.”
