57 bcr Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Listen to "I'm a People" or "Nothings Ever Hurt Me Half as Much as Losing You".You will LOL!! I remember working on my truck at 11pm one night singing "Thing Have Gone To Pieces"! Good thing is we still have his music.

BAD DOG Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 That's the first I heard about his passing. I was wondering why the Detroit station played the Corvette song and a couple others today. You don't hear his music on the radio too often anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farmer52 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 George was one of the best traditional C&W artists. Surprised at his death. Tammy preceeded him many years ago. She was a "hottie" in the day. RIP George. Quote Ken PRR Country and Charter member of the "Mack Pack" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Maddog13407 Posted April 27, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted April 27, 2013 they dont play shit on the radio anymore, country or rock, its all sindicated bullshit. our country and rock stations play the exact same songs everyday and our one country station that played nothin but old stuff and some new recently changed to all new. sucks. i miss the good old stuff. always liked whos gonna fill their shoes and the corvette song myself. the new country artists are nothin but tv celebrities. now Jamey Johnson is badass but im sure Nashville will shun him out eventually cause he doesnt fit what the think people wanna hear today. kinda like they did with Waylon. sad to hear about old George. gotta love a good old boy who can say he got a DWI on his lawnmower haha 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmer52 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 About the only place you can listen to "traditional" country is Sirius/XM. I have Sirius in all my vehicles. I HATE listening to "free" radio stations. I will not even turn the regular radio on if I don't have satellite. My one complaint with Sirious/XM is the jockeys. Just play music!!! I don't need you talking over the song intros or your other BS. Give me the money you pay these jokers. JUST PLAY THE DANG MUSIC!!!George, Waylon, Merle, Porter, Tammy, Patsy, and others....great country music. Do you remember when George had his hair cut in a flat top? Tammy is the one who suggested he let it grow. Quote Ken PRR Country and Charter member of the "Mack Pack" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

other dog Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I pretty much just listen to talk radio, Fox News, the NASCAR channel, even Howard Stern, but when I do listen to music it's the classic rock channels, there's no good new music nowadays. 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Maddog13407 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 gotta agree. cant stand any new country that they force down our throats and play fifteen times a day. cant stand when the country mudic awards come on and they award someone whos song was played day in and day out 20 times a day for a year. 'of course they wont, they didnt have any competition!' id even settle for 10 and 20 year old country, dont even hear Alabama or Hank Jr or any of that stuff anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
