Some Old Country Music

Reminds me of couples dancing in our living room when I was a child in our farm house. My mom was a good piano player, and played with a few local outfits, so when the small town saturday night dance closed up, the party ocassionally ended up in our farm house. Good lord...that stuff seems like a 1000 years ago. Country dances were a trip. Farming was very manual back then, my dad lived in cow shit, worked HARD all the time, but saturday night would see him in a nice suit, with a few shots of Five Star whiskey under his belt, twirling the dance floor with my mom. Quite a life.

here's one by Hank Thompson.



a side story about Hank. a friend and co-worker of my dad was in the Navy with Hank. well, one day one of their officers came by and heard Hank singing. the officer told Hank that he better find another vocation, because he'd never make it as a singer. I've often wondered what that officer had to say after Hank made it big in Country Music.

This isn`t old, but it`s good.

Actually...it`s better  than good.

here's one that was popular when I was stationed overseas.

My mom was a pretty good piano player...so I grew up hearing alot of this kind of country. Childhood memories for me.
