We called my neighbor growing up Big John. He was like another father to us.

Song makes me think of him. He was a jam up Carpenter. He was a big man as well.

Thanks for this song.

If you want some classic Blue Grass: Tommy Jarrell

And if you can find the movie "Sprout Wings And Fly"...you're in for a wonderful treat.

I saw the movie in the 80s - it was so wonderful. I'd love to see it again.

I am a fan of Keith Whitley's songwriting, but he was a drunk and a shitty person. The way he treated his wife, Lorrie Morgan, was despicable.

What did he do to Lorrie? The only thing that I remember her ever having to do to him is handcuff herself to him so that he would not get up in the middle of the night to go drink.

darn it! no Shania there??

Maybe she isn't considered an old time singer yet. Next year, the song that put her on the map will be 20 years old.

Besides Tanya Tucker, four more of my top ten favorite singers have now been around for 20 or more years.

Alison Krauss
Hal Ketchum
Toby Keith
Kenny Chesney

God bless you two and my favorites and Shania and Lorrie always!!!

Holly (a day one fan of Hal)

Since this is a "singer" thread I posted one by Chet Atkins but had to add two of his solo guitar/instrumentals. Great guitarist.
