16. That's What My Mother-In-Law Always Called...

HONKY-TONK music! Through some sand on a wooden floor, drinks lots of beer and slide right along. I DID dance to some of this myself... kind of "getting in the mood" music, heh!

Heard a little of George Jones in there too! First heard of Charlie Pride (the first black country/western singer) when I was in high school.

I was an Army brat & my father was stationed at Ft. Hood, the county was "dry" but there was always a place the guys found some beer. Brings back memories, but that dancing did put the Ram in the Ram A Lang Ding Dong!

How times have changed. Then THE WAR began for "My Generation!"

We seem to be on the Eve of another REVOLUTION and even though I would have preferred it be Cumbya, it may be just the alternative. Americans have fought since the beginning of it's founding, looks like Bad Moon A'Risin. Not sure if I got that right! I loved that song, was it Creedence Clearwater? Can't remember the famous singer right now... but he was a character.

I could go on, but need to check out some info here. Thanks for the memories!
