At the risk of taking some heat for this I just have to rave a bit about Alan Jackson's "Drive" CD. I haven't listened to country in a while and frankly this feels really good. I sure do love that Georgia boy!

Hey....... Is that some Yankee Red Neck showing.
Next thing you know you'll be listin to Mearl, Hank Jr. and the rest of the Outlaws.
I met my wife at a Country-Western Bar. Our first date was to an Alabama Concert. And our two oldest daughters got us tickets to the Alabama Fairwell concert, July 11.
Country music, iced tea and red wine. Sounds like a song in there somewere.

Alan's always been my favorite. Love him from his white hat to his ostrich skin boots. Oh, and did I mention I like his singin' too?
Come to think of it Hotsie, if you were to grow your hair a little longer...

I like him as well Georgie. However, that Drive song just doesn't do it for me. Oh, well. Maybe it's my memories of learning to drive. My Dad wasn't a great teacher. Now, however, I'll drive anythhing I can reach the pedals for. WD

Georgie, I don't have enough hair left to grow longer, or any other whichaway. At least, not on my head. (har!)

Do tell, HW! [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/wink.gif[/img]
and WD, the Drive song is about a boat, not a car. Does that change anything for you? Learning to drive a car with my father was no picnic either, I can tell ya! In "Where Were You When the World Stopped Turning?" I can certianly relate to the lyrics "Teachin' a class full of innocent children.." Probably the hardest day of my career. It still chokes me up to think of it.

Any relation to Michael?
- Georgie - 06-25-2003
No, silly. Kendall..
- winedope1 - 06-25-2003
Georgie- the first section of the song is certainly about a boat, but two of the later sections are about land vehicles. The one I thought of is the section about him letting his daughters drive his Jeep on the farm. WD
- Georgie - 06-25-2003
You are absolutely right! I didn't pay close attention to the whole thing. Sorry about that.
- winedope1 - 06-25-2003
no problem! it's nice to find another country fan. I was raised on country, despite my Yankee background. Got my hat and boots- don't get to wear them as much as I'd wish- time for riding is scarce : ( but I can still listen! By the way tand- whatsa matter with Merle???

Now tell me that you square dance, little missy....... I started that at age fifteen. That was only 10 years ago..... cough. I grew up with Johnny Cash, Marty Robbins, Merle Haggard, Tammy Wynette, Loretta Lynn, Jim Reeves, and the like, while cutting alfalfa and driving a wheat truck to market at a young age.
That was about the time that WW applied for Social Security..... [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/wink.gif[/img]

All kidding aside, it is nice to have you here, Georgie. You're a good sport, taking it on the chin from us old curmudgeons with aplomb. Of course I'll deny that in public.

- Georgie - 06-26-2003
Well, Bucko! I wouldn't have taken you for a country boy. Nowadays it's line dancing, not square dancing that's in. And as far as this board goes, nobody is enjoying you zany people more than I am. Thanks for the kind words. I do love it when you make sense!I'm delighted to be here! Have fun at the fair!
- tandkvd - 06-26-2003
That remark about Mearl and Hank was just ... ok Georgie help me on the spelling...."Phiecious"
Actualy I realy didn't think of Alabama as real Country in 1984. I only had the tickets to get a date. And look what that got me!
In them days it was Mearl, Hank, Willie.....and all the real country singers for me.

Have enny of these dudes recorded " How High The Moon " [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/eek.gif[/img] WW [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/biggrin.gif[/img]
- Thomas - 06-26-2003
WW, that is funny...
- Georgie - 06-26-2003
Sorry tandkvd, school's out. I don't have to correct anybody's spelling for two months!
- winedope1 - 06-26-2003
tand- it's facetious. Bucko- I do square dance, although haven't in quite a while. I don't know about Georgie, but the urban cowboy thing ain't quite the truth. I spent a large part of my childhood on the family dairy farm- yeeha! nothin urban about steppin in a wet cowpie! WD
