yeah I know, have you ever heard him sing it when he was young and clean shaven?....

This is a medley of songs which he wrote, and gave /sold to others to have a hit with

Good heavens......Willie was certainly rather slick back then!

I'm going to be one sad outlaw when the Seven Spanish Angels come and carry that boy off. I'm a huge fan of Willie's.

LeRoy Van Dyke has a traveling road show that he has been hosting for several years now. I went to see the sown about three years ago. He had maybe three or four other old time singers and writer along with him. It was a bout a 2-hour show and put on very nicely.

Of course, LeRoy sang his "The Auctioneer" song and also "Walk On BY'. Both songs were big hits for him.

This is where I went to see him and he keeps returning. LeRoy Van Dyke Show

Me too...every time I hear he's unwell, I think Oh NO, don't let this be the time.... he needs to continue entertaining us for many years yet..
 
Yes it's possibly true that Loretta might not have become the huge star she has if Patsy had lived but who knows, they may have both been big country stars together..

Altho' I believe I know every Patsy Cline song ever released, this was the first one I ever heard and although not my favourite, still has a place in my heart...

 
Patsy introduces this one..so you get to hear her talking in the same accent and tone that so many country stars , even Willie nelson spoke 60 or 70 years ago....

 
Here's Buck Owens with his Buckaroos, along with his sidekick, Don Rich, who most of you will remember from the TV show "Hee Haw." Don is a country star in his own right. Buck was credited with starting the Bakersfield Sound being that he was from Bakersfield, CA.

 
I just wanna squeeze this other Patsy song in... I've always loved it but I know it's not the most popular with some PC fans....

It was the first PC song lyrics I learned all the way through , I was about 15 I think ( I'd have had the rise taken completely out of me if my friends knew I liked country songs) .... and for the life of me I had no idea what a ''coop'' was .... it was years before I realised she was singing about what we called a coupé 😄

I think you are little confused. We call it a coupe, but spell it c-o-u-p-e, even today. The only coop spelled like you spelled it is a chicken coop, (or maybe a pigeon coop) which is where chickens spend most of their time laying eggs.

The other thing is, what do you mean by..."I'd have had the rise taken completely out of me?" What does "rise" mean?

I'm not confused OM>.. listen to the song..Patsy sings about ''little red coop'' which I knew was connected to chickens hence the confusion ..it may be spelled coupe ..but in the song she sings COOP... and although it's spelled coupe here too..it has an accent on the last letter ( coupé ) so we pronounce it Coopay...

I listened to the song twice and all I heard was her singing, "Little red coupe." Here are the lyrics:

Down in Dallas, near the Palace
I met a boy who was so cute
I loved his huggin', I loved his kissin'
As we sat in his little red coupe
He said, tell me, confidentially
How much do you love me
Well, I thought awhile and then I smiled
And this is what I told him, dontcha see
I love you honey, I love your money
I love your automobile
I love you baby, I don't mean maybe
You're the sweetest thing on wheels
I love your kisses, I wouldn't miss it
No matter how I feel
I love you honey, I love your money
Most of all I love your automobile
Down in Dallas, near the Palace
I met a boy who was so cute
I loved his huggin', I loved his kissin'
As we sat in his little red coupe
He said, tell me, confidentially
How much do you love me
Well, I thought awhile and then I smiled
And…
 
What I want to know is what does the word "rise" mean to you? I know it's not the same as what I know it to mean.

"I'd have had the rise taken completely out of me."

we use rise in the same way as you've learned from us I should imagine...

Rise...to lift up or stand up... or slang to take the rise out of someone... ( to take the mickey , to joke with them)...

I think we've gone a bit far off topic now :D
