Music of the good Ole days!!!

[Generals64]

Sorry to ruin the thread but 'good ole days' music for me would be Dr. Dre's "The Chronic". Brings back memories of 8th grade!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Who?????? oh no, The Who was in my younger days....Do you remember Jimmie Rodgers, Merl Haggard, Bill Monroe, Ricky Nelson, Paul Peterson< Johnny Horton...Neil Sedaka....Ruin the thread naww...Who is Dr. Dre????

[papaOU]

Funny, I knew that from day one. I always looked to see who wrote what
on any lp I bought. I didn't know Axton was an Okie, though.

Easy Rider was on last night and I just happened to see his name in the credits. Googled to make sure and it's a fact.

When I was in high school my head basketball coach would always talk about The Who & of course, I'd reply "who's tha who???". I listen to all kinds of music now, and now, I know and have known for a while who The Who is (gotta love that CSI music)! Merl Haggard is my mom's favorite 'old' country star. I actually have her ringer on my cell phone as 'Mama Tried'. To answer your question Dr. Dre is a rapper. I was in 8th grade in '92-'93, lol...

all right, now I apologize for the bad things I have said....Used to live in Whitney, Texas....Home of Tommy Duncan...His brother was a heck of a lot better singer he just didn't like Bob Wills.....We owned the feed store and it was nothing for Joe Duncan to break into some Western Swing music while the "Old-Timers" played dominoes and ate fresh roasted P-Nuts.....Willie lived in Abbott, Texas and picked Cotton all over Hill County. The place I used to own down there was one of the fields he worked...However, every kid in that county worked in the cotton fields.....The first Fourth of July week-end was held on a friend of mines cotton field...The guy that owned the field kept the concession rights and the parking...Willie got everything else...Bobby , the farmer walked away with 3 HUGE Coleman Ice chests full of Money in banded Stacks...Never did know how much...But, it took three full cotton seasons to kill off the Marijuana plants....

Robert Earl Keen is one of the best singer songwriters to come out in a while.
I've missed him the last coup;e of times he's played in the area.

[Prunepicker]

... Who is Dr. Dre?

I think he meant Dr. Death but hiccuped. I didn't know he was musical.

Until later,
North to Alaska,
They're goin' north, the rush is on!

Gen/64 Do you remember Jodi Miller who sang the rebuttle song to Roger Miller's King of the Road; hers being Queen of the house? She's my cousin, are you impressed?

Back on the topic, the oklahoma Bluegrass group are playing at Guthrie during the 89'ers day promotion. We ought to go up there and have a get together...Bluegrass is deep in the roots of Oklahoma True Music...We can talk about doo-wop and Rock and Roll but even they were started with the Bluegrass background.....

NO THANKS!!!! Guthrie is too close to Stillwater (Home of the anti-christ)for me.

Mae was David Lyle Boren's aunt. She was his poppa's sister. Texas born and came to Oklahoma as a toddler. I met Hoyt when I was a youngster. Man loved his momma, as any good man should.
