Klondike SASS Life #29713 Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Thanks BW, That brings back a lot of memories, and really does ask the question "Who's Going To Fill Thier Shoes"?. It doesn't seem that it was that long ago some of those were out. I scrolled through some of the others too and they were equally as great.

Utah Bob #35998 Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Ya can't fill somebody's shoes. The best you can hope for is to walk in their footsteps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klondike SASS Life #29713 Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 George Jones is one of my fave singers. I have always liked George Jones and his music, even when he became "no show Jones". He just got better with age. I had to think about it a little to remember the first time I saw him. It was 1962 at Panther Hall Ballroom in Fort Worth. Singers did not do concerts back then, you danced to their music, or they were insulted. This is back in the day when George, Willie, Waylon (Waylon was still at JD"s in Tempe at this time), all wore little skinny ties and a suit, not the Webb Pierce type suit. Their country music is my favorite music, not what they call country today. The west Texas bands played behind chicken wire to keep from getting hit by beer bottles from the rowdy's. A heck of a time was had by all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Steel Duke Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Couldn't agree more, one of my favorite Possum songs. I posted a thread a couple of weeks ago about George's 80th birthday celebration at the Grand Ole Opry where Jammie Johnson performed this song for George. Cold chills ran up my back as he sang.

Utah Bob #35998 Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 From the George Strait album "Somewhere Down in Texas" If the Whole World was a Honkey Tonk If the whole world was a honky-tonk, And it revolved around an old jukebox, We'd tell our troubles to the Bar, Over cryin' steel guitars, And soon, they'd all be gone. Yeah, if you asked me what I thought, I'd say: "We'd be better off, "If the whole world was a honky-tonk." You could smoke that cigarette, An' be politically incorrect. Show off that red 'round your neck: Not hear a single soul object. Wouldn't need no lawyers to decide, Who is wrong and who is right. No need for big expensive trials: Brother, we'd just step outside. If the whole world was a honky-tonk, And it revolved around an old jukebox, We'd tell our troubles to the Bar, Over cryin' steel guitars, And soon, they'd all be gone. Yeah, if you asked me what I thought, I'd say: "We'd be better off, "If the whole world was a honky-tonk." Wouldn't have to pay no tax: Just set a tip jar in the back. If we ran low, we'd pass the hat: I bet we'd all be in the black, If the whole world was a honky-tonk. And if you're lookin' love: Someone to heal that broken heart. Hey, buddy, you'd be in half. You wouldn't have to go that far. If the whole world was a honky-tonk, And it revolved around an old jukebox, We'd tell our troubles to the Bar, Over cryin' steel guitars, And soon, they'd all be gone. If you asked me what I thought, I'd say: "We'd be better off, "If the whole world was a honky-tonk." Life would be a three-chord song, And the king would be George Jones, If the whole world was a honky-tonk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
