They were a class act. Any fans of the group on the "fire"?

The folks always listened to them on LP's. So yeah the older I get the more I appreciate the older music and artists like Ray Price, Patsy Cline.....

Remember why, specifically, the Bill of Rights was written...remember its purpose. It was written to limit the power of government over the individual. There is no believing a liar, even when he speaks the truth.

It;s hard to believe they had the farewell tour 15 years ago. Time flies.

They were good. One hell of a bass singer!

Family and I used to watch their weekly variety show on TNN back in the 90's. Better Days for our country even if Slick Willy was Pres. You know reality has morphed into the twilight zone when the 90's start becoming the good ol days.

That tenor singer, can't think of his name, was in Nashville doing a solo gig a couple of weeks ago.

I was once asked to sing tenor...
Was welding inside the induced draft fan housing on a boiler in Mt Storm, West Virginia. Had my stuff all the way up at the top level and was up there all one day and well into the next. I often sing when I'm alone and was doing my best on that day. Really belting it out.
On the second afternoon I heard someone come in the manway below me, but I kept on singing. Saw the rope wiggle as he tied his gear on and then heard him start the climb. As the guys head cleared the scaffold platform we looked at each other. He said, "You oughtta sing tenor". I said, "Ya really think so?" He said, "Heck yeah. Tenor eleven miles away would be fine."...

Phil Balsley, happened to be one of my Grandfather's brother Fred's out of wedlock children.... "Uncle Fred" was the black sheep, who traveled around doing Honky Tonk back in the 30s, 40s and 50s... Running Moonshine etc, in VA, WVa, Maryland & North Carolina... Rumor had it, old Fred fathered about 20 to 25 children out of Wedlock... Boy could he play guitar tho... remember ol Fred playing country music when he visited our house once... then thought we boys were getting bored, so he said I bet you like that Jimi Hendrix feller better, and then started playing Hendrix.... old Uncle Fred was one of those guys that had half a dozen last names... always seemed to be "wanted by the law" for something....

I used to photograph their 'Happy Birthday USA" in Staunton Va. They are good people.
