Old time Country Music for Seniors Thread

Just looking at this last page and I know the words to every song posted. A group I've seen live so many times they went from "Thank G-d for Kids" to " Thank G-d for Grandkids". No matter their politics they sing so great together!

I miss Bill Golden, let me find one with him...Ol' Bill was the mountain man
 

As a child we woke up to old time country music. It was dads not so subtle hint to get up and ready for church so he could watch sports on telly ..

The song was actually classified as "Rock-A-Billy." Old Bandstand video.

Thanks for the clarification. Rock-A-Billy makes perfect sense, listening again. That Bandstand video was so funny I thought about posting it in my diary---the screaming girls, the gum chewing, the 2 bored looking boys, the exaggerated Doo Waaaaaa's. :) But I still like it.
 
I like that one, SeaBreeze. Definitely not country. The introduction sounds like the theme song to a TV show. Can't remember which.
 
We Brits have a slightly different take on your Country music. I know its cowboys, hats, saloons, poker and gals.

This covers most of that, plus it's a catchy tune :D

 
I just listened to "England" on clover's post and thought of this song:


Being an American, I tend to take it at face value. Would like to know what those of you in (or from) the UK think.
 
Ya! There were a lot of great stars in those days. Some of my favourites were and still are: Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Marty Robbins, Lefty Frizzle, Sonny James, Johnny Horton, etc. Can't stand so called country music today. It all sounds the same and it all sounds like the same voice, the same band and the same Nashville studio. Bah!
 
"Sleeping at the Foot of the Bed" - When my cousins and I had to all sleep together, we always made the youngest one sleep at the foot. :devil:
