Love that song, heard for the first time when I watched the tv show The Ranch (Sam Elliott, Ashton Kutcher).

Hot damn! How unique. I wish that guy could play at my funeral, and my name ain’t even Gary. But I ain’t going down yet. What an interesting baseball cap, straight out of All Souls Day. Much obliged.

You should look up his awesome rendition of “Stand by Me” on Youtube. He also performed it live at the CMA awards.

I’ll admit, I like my rap and hip hop, nothings takes me further away from life’s stressors. But country music, makes me feel and appreciate our own homeland, the USA.
I’m not a fan of Joseph Stalin, but I recently heard someone read one of his quotes, something about “If you want to influence the hearts and minds, enter through the music they listen to”.

Not sure if it was accurate. But, if it was, impressive!
NASHVILLE TURNED THEM AWAY FOR SEVEN YEARS. THEY PLAYED A BEACH BAR IN SOUTH CAROLINA UNTIL THEIR FINGERS BLED — AND BUILT THE BIGGEST COUNTRY BAND IN HISTORY. They were three cousins from Fort Payne, Alabama — Randy Owen, Teddy Gentry, and Jeff Cook — raised on cotton farms on Lookout Mountain, singing in church before they could shave.
Nashville told them country was for solo singers. Bands didn’t sell records. Every label said the same thing. So in 1973, they drove to Myrtle Beach and took a house band gig at a tiny club called The Bowery.
Six nights a week for tips. Five hours a night. Seven straight summers. There’s one promise the three cousins made in that $56-a-month apartment in Anniston — a promise that explains why they never quit when every other band would have. Alabama looked Nashville dead in the eye and said: “No.”
In 1980, RCA finally signed them. Their first single hit #1. So did the next twenty in a row — a record nobody has touched in any genre. They sold 73 million albums.
They don’t make groups like them anymore. Today’s “country” acts get signed off a TikTok video. Alabama spent seven years playing for tips before Nashville returned a phone call. No band on country radio today would survive what Alabama earned. Not one of them.
