Wow Holly she looks somewhat like you do?

Oh That's very kind, but I think she's in a different league to me, but thank you....

A very subtle anti war song. I still sing it several times every week.

Then there's Ben Isaacs with his family...

The Isaacs version of the Living years..my favourite song... but even I have to say the harmonising in this family probably outdoes the original

This cuts deep. Me and dad didn't get along when I was young. So much I wish I could have said to him.

Willie when he was a clean cut clean shaven young singer

The use of that traditional song I most enjoyed was near the end of the 1956 movie Giant, when Bick Benedict got into a fistfight with Sarge, the diner owner after Sarge tried to eject a Mexican family from his restaurant. Very exciting.

[Roger Whittaker - The Last Farewell]

He died in 2023. Found these sad notes on Wikipedia: "Whittaker's father never forgave his son for abandoning a medical career, and their differences were never resolved. His parents did not attend any of their son's concerts . . . "

I know when he died.. he was a great man , one of the worlds real gentlemen......I've always been a fan.

 

[hollydolly]

Thisis a fantastic cover by the Isaacs, of the Browns... 3 Bells....

I loved the Browns back in the day, but they were my parents generation , but I think the Isaacs are fabulous , they could sing the phone book

[Silver Wings Merle Haggard]

Being in SF has been such a learning experience for me. I never knew anyone in London would have any interest whatsoever in our country and western music, let alone some of my favorite singers.

you know if you spoke to the classic Country western singers like merle haggard, like Willie N , Like Jim Brown and the Browns.. like jean Sheppard, Billie Jo Spiers they will tell you that their biggest fan base was always in the UK.. and in many cases, if it hadn't have been for their tours here for their fans , their Careers would have been over before they really got started....in the USA

I remember one of the old time country musicians I think it was Jeanie Seely or Skeeter Davis who said that the most knowledgable Country music fans are British...

Country music has always been Enormously popular in the UK, especially with Scotland and Ireland .. it was sung everywhere, in pubs clubs, and even at weddings sometimes.. by the fans...

Sadly now, it's not qute as popular as it once was, the new breed of Country singers haven't really hit the spot with the British fans as their forebears did...

Even, Glastonbury music festival traditionally for anything BUT country music... had 180,000 fans turn out for Dolly in 2014 when she played day 3 on the Pyramid stage....she went down a storm....
