I haven’t heard that one since October 2005.Last time I heard it I was listening to a station on the road driving to Georgia in my PU with a load of bagpipes and drums, I believe we were in South Carolina at the time.

Thats a great song.

But lately I been listening to Roy Orbinson, for all of his short comings, that man could sing.

Barry Foley does some good stuff, but I haven’t kept track
of him lately.

Moonshine lyrics are deeply engrained in Southern Music.There must be dozens of songs.

I don’t think the Obama crowd is going to do much with this Wright relative of McCain’s, except increase McCain’s popularity. At least we have a good idea where the Maverick in McCain come from.

Seeing how he has a Scots name , and a shiner in his family line, I bet he’s teched the jug more than once.

Moonshine Still

There’s an old still in the
valley beside my daddy’s grave -
And a light burning slow
burning slow.
It’s the one thing that was left me
as I came back from the war -
And it’s still burning slow
burning slow.

No way could Billie ever need a moonshine man like me?
Illegal moonshine still
you bring me down.

I tried working for a living
even tried to sing the blues -
From my heart
burning slow
burning slow.
Turning music into money
couldn’t make her change her mind -
And it’s so burning slow
burning slow.

No way could Billie ever need a moonshine man like me?
No way could Billie ever need a moonshine man like me? . . .
Still
you bring me down.

No way could Billie ever need a moonshine man like me? . . .
No way could Billie ever need a moonshine man like me? . . .
Still
you bring me down.

I like it! Who knows, but I wouldn't be surprised if we're "kin". Scotch Irish here, but my ol' man got around. Truck driver's are like that. The family wound up in Arizona, but most are still back in the Southeastern states.

NObama '08!
