Doug Kershaw - Diggy Liggy Lo

[HiTech RedNeck]

Ah yes, a ride in the car of a ghostly Hank Williams...

That song The Little Boy is an oddball on my album. It is the only one that is not specifically about country or rednecks. Put it on there just to fill it out to ten numbers.

I’ve been penning some more verses which are much better ballads, but don’t want to release it yet till the music is done.

IIRC, just about all of Bobby Golsboro’s songs told a story. Guy had a knack for it. My favorite was ‘Saturday Morning Confusion’.

Boy, you’re in a cheery mood tonight, hehehe!

I respectfully submit for your approval an addition to your fine list.....for its historic and artistic quality.

“De’ Titanic” by Leadbelly

[Michael.SF.]

Little Sister” Ry’s version is best

Absolutely! 'Bop till you drop' is a very much underrated LP.

Low lie, The Fields Of Athenry
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
Our love was on the wing
We had dreams and songs to sing,
It's so lonely round the Fields of Athenry

Fields of Athenry

Walkaway Joe Trisha Yearwood
Whiskey Lullaby Brad Paisley & Alison Krauss

Franz Schubert: "The Fisherman's Luck in Love"

Halfway through the song you realize that none of this is really happening. It's all a dream as the man lies on his back in the boat.
