Back then I was dating this girl and her dad was pretty much an ass hole. Anyway, I always tried to make sure Long Haired Country Boy was playing when I pulled into her driveway.
ReplyDeleteThe dad is gay then. Here.

ReplyDelete"Uneasy Rider" is still my favorite.
ReplyDeleteI commented on Charlie's death before but didn't see it posted, so here goes...
ReplyDeleteBack in the late 70's I was programming a big 100kw Top-40 FM that covered the Florida Panhandle. Soon as we received the album with "The Devil went down to Georgia" I knew it was a hit, and since we were all rebels back then, you guessed it, we played the album version complete with "I told you once you son of a bitch....". Instant hit. We could've just played that song, Stairway to Heaven, and Freebird, and our audience would have been happy.
Anyhoo, us breaking the record helped make it a hit, and Charlie Daniels called me up to say thanks. I put him on the air for a live interview and that's that.
R.I.P. Charlie Daniels, one of the all time greats!
I have a Ringo Starr country album recorded in 1970, Beacoups of Blues. Charlie Daniels plays GUITAR on it. It is one of my favorite albums. I saw Charlie Daniels in concert 5 or 6 times. He was GREAT and a great patriot. God bless Charlie Daniels and God bless America.
ReplyDeleteThank God the funeral is not in Gretchen's Michigan.
