They have some great stuff that was not on pop radio stations. They did an album called something like "songs my daddy taught me" that has some great stuff on it. If you search on Everly Brothers rare, you will find things you may not be familiar with. It's all great

I have those songs, ...also songs with them singing with Ike Everly, and with their relatives in church... ...but I love Phil singing solo too, I think I have just about everything he released...

Thanks for that Marlene , I'm a massive Don Williams fan myself, but I admit I've never heard that one... nor have I ever heard of thompson tea... must be a northern thing

My pen pal lives close to Endon in Stoke-on-Trent. The tea is fantastic. Nice and strong without being bitter.

yes that's up north... northerners like strong (builders) tea.. down south the preference is for weaker tea..

ah ha, maybe that explains my preference for strong black tea. My heritage is a mix of Welsh, Scottish, Irish, and English (somewhere around Cumbria).

My favorite grandma taught me this song:

 

[ClassicRockr]

Old, but to some, to new and too much "rock" sounding...…….Brooks & Dunn: Brand New Man and Boot Skootin' Music. Garth Brooks: Rodeo, Ain't Goin' Down 'til The Sun Comes Up and Fever. Mary Chapin Carpenter: At The Twist & Shout. George Strait: Amarillo By Morning and Ace In The Hole. The Judds: Have Mercy and Girls With Guitars.

And, so on and so on. We love it all!!

Watched another of the series running on PBS last night on country music. I knew George Jones had a big booze problem but it was said at one point after his final divorce from Tammy he was living in his car and weighed less than 100 pounds. There was a series that ran a couple years ago about the biggest male C&W stars and it showed George Jones was worse off out of the bunch and that is saying a lot because a lot of the stars were screwed up on dope & booze and came very near to killing themselves. Sadly, last night's program said Tammy's life was not good either with I believe they said five marriages and addiction to pain killers.
