oh man,, what a song, I remember that one. I love this one, AGAIN, this was when country music was country.. Thanks for giving us this. I love this song!!
Mel Tillis A magic singer/songwriter I just love listening to this great country music performer. Brings a smile to my face just thinking about it. Many Thanks
What i understand of Mel, some of the stars let their fame and fortune go to their heads and forget who got them to where they are. I have heard Mel is real nice to his fans when others who snub their fans and be plain mean to them. Its amazing with Mel how he STUTTERS when he talks but when you hear him sing you would never guess he Stutters when he talks. A true legend
I had the honor of meeting Phil Coontz when he took over for Paul Franklin and Mel was playing at Harrahs in Lake Taho around 1984. Phil was a gracious and humble talent, Phil took me up on stage to see his Steel rig and offered to let me set behind it, I declined out of respect for his equipment. We had a nice visit, may he join the other greats in the lords angel band. Bill Bailey
I saw Mel Tillis (with Silvia.. how cool is that!?) as a teenager in the early 90's and he was the most gracious wonderful man. It could have been that i was the only person there under 35 .. but he talked to me for a half hour. I hope i'm 10% the songwriter that he is. Id be might happy with that.
@chipperh2o Just now read your post. Sorry to read about your loss and country music's loss. Thank you for your father's contribution to country music-real country music.
Phil is my uncle. We sure do miss him. I remember as a kid always excited when his band would practice at grandma nd grandpas house and we all got to hang out an listen.
Thanks Mel we miss you guys so much!! Again Thanks for all the memories!! RIP!!!!!!

Mel's band always has outstanding harmony vocals. Is that Mark O'Connor on fiddle?
This is a beautiful song.
Gotta love Mel Tillis

Good ole Danny Parks and Paul Justice on fiddle.

@chipperh2o. I love pedal steel , and that is truly proper 100% country steel playing.
Fiddle player on the right looks sort of like Hank Singer.
