Old time Country Music for Seniors Thread

What a great thread listening to all the country classics. When we were first married we went to Nashville for Fan Fair. Such a treat to be able to talk to all the old country stars and actually mingle with them. I remember Sony James in particular. He really was a southern gentleman. We also had the opportunity to see one of the last shows in the Ryman Auditorium. The photo shows me in 1973 having a nice conversation with Roy Acuff in the new Grand Ole Opry park.Roy acuff 1 (800x548).jpg My back is to the camera.
 

Cool that you got to do that Ruth, here's one from Sonny James.

 

Thanks for the Sonny James song,SeaBreeze. That's an old one, I listened to that when it was a hit on the pop radio stations. Pam, who could forget Hank Williams. I never heard him sing with Anita Carter.
 
Look how young Roy Rogers is in the photo! The very first album I ever bought after making the transition from Rock and Roll to country/ western music was the Sons of the Pioneers. They had several members through the years but they all managed to keep the same sound. For awhile the man who played Festus on the TV Gunsmoke series sang with them. He had an amazing voice. Thanks SeaBreeze for posting one of their greatest songs.
 
Charley Pride is not quite as much of an old-time country singer; but he is one of the great ones, and had a lot of popular hits. I think that I like most of his songs; but this one is definitely one of my favorites.

Thanks for posting Jimmy Reeves. I can't get the song out of my head now. Playing all day long.
Did you ever have that happen to you? How do you get it to stop?

Maybe you can just replace it with another one , Camper 6 ? I was going to suggest “Bunny Foo-Foo, hopping through the forest”; but then I would probably have that one in my head all day, too; so here is another really awesome old Jim Reeves song for you to sing instead of the other one.

You're welcome Camper, it's a good song to have stuck in your head though, I've had much worse playing over and over in my head. :p Happyflowerlady is right, you have to replace it with another tune. :D
 
Did you know that the instructor that taught the pilot that flew Buddy Holly, Richie Valens and the Big Bopper also taught Jim Reeves to fly and I think he also taught Patsy Cline's pilot also. None of these pilots were IR (instrument rated).
