And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I wonder what year it was, and if Walter Brennan sang 'Dang Me'. Most people don't know this, but his creaky voice was from World War I, where he got a dose of mustard gas.
Back in the day, I would hate it whenever "shit kicking" music came on the radio. Today, now that I have pulled my head out, I love the classic country and western ballads.
Yeah, I agree. I too have found that as I age, I like both kinds of music....Country and Western. I will often set my Spotify* account to an old Gene Autry channel and use that old twangy stuff as music to go to sleep by.
* The old music stars, who worked so hard to get somebody to record their music on vinyl, and then maybe, if they were very lucky and in the right place at the right time, have their tunes one day broadcast on a scratchy AM radio, have to be amazed that people like me are listening to them on the internet.
Johnny Cash Hollywood Bowl Concert Poster (KFOX, 1963). A truly all-star lineup joined Johnny for this Hollywood Bowl blockbuster. A virtual who's who of Country Music: George Jones, Faron Young, Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs, the Louvin Brothers, Grandpa Jones, Loretta Lynn, Mother Maybelle, June Carter, and The Carter Family all appeared, as did film star Walter Brennan, who had just ended his run on the hit television show The Real McCoys at the time. Incredible!
Faron Young was still going a few years ago in his 90s I think. A truck driver friend saw him in Texas a few years ago and said he was still as smooth as ever. He was always one of my favorites. Bubbarust

In the mid-60s an ensemble like this would come to Jackson, MS every other Friday night.
ReplyDelete13 acts, going to be a long night
ReplyDeleteI wonder if 'no show Jones' showed up.
ReplyDeleteLooks more like early 1950s....look how far down Loretta Lynn is listed.
