2023 WS CHAMPS BABY, LETS GOOOO. decades on decades of pain and anguish, a team that wasnt supposed to win it all, just did tonight. I can finally have some peace. The ghost of 2011 is finally put to rest. Hellloooo win column!
Special Thanks to Bob Sturm and BAD Radio at 1310 The Ticket for finding this and playing it on the air. This song will show just how old school I am . Had the tune stuck in my head about two years ago and found the 45 at Forever Young Records in Arlington.
@@paulheckmann6351 lost dad sept of last year. Its weird when i hear any of his songs on the radio or when someones playing music he played and recorded. I dont know how i just saw your reply. I hope you enjoyed speaking with him. I dont know when that took place but i hope he was as i knew him most of my life. Friendly fun outgoing and humble about his musical talents. Things changed and i hardly knew him the last decade. He was a great dad and best friend up to that time.
@@memoriesincorporated3449 going by your statement I'm guessing you knew dad? I knew or met most of his friends and or folks he played with over the years but I can't remember anyone named memoriesincorporated3449. Obviously my memory is disincorporated. Sorry it's 3am and I'm in agony so I'm joking to take my mind off the pain. If you knew dad would we have met? I do enjoy meeting people that knew him and most everybody had good things to say. Most are in the music business some in movies and some just from seeing him play. I miss him. We had alot of fun for half of my life.
I was surprised the song went over as well as it did. Dad and Mark wrote and orchestrated the song in no time at all. The fans would go nuts when it was played. I cant remember who played the fiddle maybe james penebaker. Im pretty sure it was Bill Lincoln on the banjo. Uncle Bill. A great big hairy guy. In my memory id say he looked like Hagarinth or whatever the guy from harry potter was called. Dad on bass and Mark on guitar. I think Alan Hagar on the drums. I was 6 i think. I remember getting a bunch of rangers swag. The little bat came in handy when i beat the hell out of two guys 5 years older than me for beating up my older sister. Id love a rematch Howard and that worthless buddy of yours. Sure were in our 50s now but ill bet i can still put a hurt on you. At 280 lbs id be willing to bet i can knock you out of the park. Back to the music. I miss those guys. Dads dead. Used to see Mark often. Havnt seen Alan in 20 years or more and havnt seen bill since County Fair went their seperate ways. I could be way off on the banjo and fiddle but i dont remember anyone other than them playing with Dad around that time. I miss those days and seeing the Rangers play and practice.
@@hulenegooden6220 yes. I remember you. How are you and the family? You know it suck when adults go their separate ways. They don't think about the kids and their losing what feels like family members. I used to crawl inside Alan's bass drum and hide and sometimes fall asleep. The pillows were so comfy
@davidreynolds4684 I am doing great. My dad (allen) & mom (linda) still live in Arlington. I have lived in Guthrie, OK for the last 30 something years. Still always hoping the Rangers would do well and finally! Now if the Cowboys would step up!
@@hulenegooden6220 I saw Alan at an Amway convention Mark, Gary Grammer(harp player) and I were doing the sound and lighting for. It was one of Dexter Yagers big conventions. That had to be 20 years ago. He looked the very same. Hadn't aged a bit. I really miss your parents. They were both sweet people. If you do messenger look me up under my name here. I wasn't smart enough to use an AKA. Lord knows I've got enough of those already. Hope to hear from you. Take care
@1AmyLea Call the Rangers at 817 273 5222 and ask for Chuck Morgan. You can leave a message with him. Also, you could ask for Jim Sundberg. If you leave a message, they will get back to you.
When I was a kid I’d visit my old man in Dallas and he’d take us to Arlington Stadium where he had season tickets and I got my first experience with American League baseball. I thought about this song out of nowhere a week or so ago and figured it would probably be on RUclips somewhere with the team’s resurgence this year. Thanks for not disappointing, and best of luck to the Rangers in the 2023 World Series!
@1AmyLea That is AWESOME!!! Sports Radio 1310 Started playing it a couple of weeks ago as Bob Sturm found it online linked to a Dallas Observer article. I found the 45 at Forever Young Records a couple of summers ago as I could not get the song out of my head. Didn't know the words but still remembered the tune 30 years after the fact. I have tried to get Chuck Morgan to start playing it but I burned that bridge a couple of years ago.
We have Nolan Ryan to thank for bringing this song back at least for a while after they opened the new stadium. Not the new new stadium. I miss the original one. We spent a lit of time there. Watching my favorite catcher jim sunberg. He gave me alot of tips and things to watch for. Helped make me a damn good catcher. Went from minor league to allstars then Pony league the next season.
Boy oh boy do i ever remember this song.They played this song back at the old ball park.Does anyone remember the commercial song they played?It went something like baseball,hotdogs,apple pie,and chevy?
Dad had a bluegrass band called county fair along the rambling of his music career. They were good. I can't remember everyone in the group. Bill Lincoln was the banjo player. The man was vicious on that thing. I swear you could see the strings glowing he'd pick so fast. He was a big man with a Kentucky moonshiners beard. I miss those guys and that time period. I miss dad too.
I wish Dad was still around to read this. He'd appreciate the positive comments. He did this song a few years before my family life fell apart. I was heavily into playing baseball and the rangers gave us lifetime passes for the games. We'd go to the old stadium and Jim sunburg was so cool. I was loving the catchers position except Alex Cox was breaking kids hands with his high 80s low 90s pitches. Consistent pitches. Jim showed me ways to keep the ball in the strike zone and absorb some of the impact without breaking my hand. When that failed he gave me a neoprene like pad about 1/2 thick that I could slip in my mitt that absorbed a ton of the impact. I used that thing clear up into high school. It was cool sitting there hearing dads voice echoing thru the stadium. I'd heard his music all my life live and in the radio but in that stadium it seemed more powerful. I love and miss you pops.
THE RANGERS FINALLY WON A WORLD SERIES
It was time ⏲️😊.

It's funny I stumbled upon this song. I havent heard it in 30 years. My dad wrote and recorded this song when I was a kid.
David - just interviewed your dad!

@@davidreynolds4684 So sorry to hear that. He was quite the character.

I am Allen Hager's daughter! Do you remember Harry Blair and Danny Reynolds?

Harry did the best big butt buster on our diving board. He was so cool he'd do it every time I asked him to. Even fully dressed ready to go somewhere.

im a tigers fan but a bluegrass person and i have to admit it was good

The man was vicious on that thing. I swear you could see the strings glowing he'd pick so fast. He was a big man with a Kentucky moonshiners beard. I miss those guys and that time period.

This features my brother, Bill Lincoln on banjo, and the late Dave Ferguson on fiddle !!!
The Texas Rangers time ⏲️ was due 😊. I was rooting for them and was thankful that they won the World 🌎 Series.
They should have Old 97's do a cover version & start playing that AND "A State Of Texas" by the same.
JUST WON OPENING BOYS
