I'm glad you give these old songs a chance. The problem is, so many teens (and even people in their 20's and 30's) have never heard the old country music and shy away from it. Hope you listen to my other Hank Locklin posts--you'll like them, too. Also Kitty Wells, Bobby Gentry, and, well.... I have a bunch of the old country artists posted. Most of them are gone now but Hank is still living!

I agree they did kill the good old country music. I remember when my Dad would put the little radieo in the hall so we could all here itIt makes me sad because all these times are gone and so is my dad.

Thank you ColaBearHugs. OH, and I took to heart some of the things you said on your channel page. I have been very hard on a family member lately for not living up to my expectations. There must be a better way and I'll find it.Chers
