I grew up listening to them on vinyl first then on the 8 track in the truck or station wagon. The Great Pretender was mom and dads song and all through the years that dad was stationed overseas he'd reference lines of their songs in letters home to mom. The Statler Brothers are classic, real music like we don't see anymore.

I was raised in Staunton Va. and in the mid 70's I dated one of Harold Reid's daughters for a while. She had just written a song called "Who Am I To Say" and the SB recorded it as a single. It was fun to go to their house and watch old Roy Rogers movies in what was probably the only "home theater" in town. The Statler Brothers, Alabama and the Oak Ridge boys were always on top of the charts. Every year I return "home" to deer hunt with about a dozen of my old friends. They still tease me about missing out on a career of being the bus driver for the Statler Brothers. Those were some good days.
