    What kind of people would have given a thumbs down to this tune by the greatest Country group of all time? Great, humbling, reflective tune. May all those who served in WWII RIP.

    Hi Jacob enjoyed the video. Nice to see different parts of Vegas. Thank you for doing the video. I hope whoever buys the trailers motel they may consider restoring it would think if
    They could keep most of original part yet update plumbing and rooms they would be successful with the retro crowd .i"am soon moving to Pahrump but do want to see and play at local casinos. I used to visit Vegas at least twice a year but been a long time and been soany changes. We used to stay at the imperial palace always had nice stay and liked it was middle strip. Because was close to everything. Now that I will be moving to Pahrump. Want to try the locals and one for sure is the el Cortez. Also liked Sam's town so that is another. I always like your information on Vegas also your videos. Please keep up the good work. Thanks again David gleason now in San diego but soon Pahrump

      Jane Fonda was right. Every soldier who died in Vietnam was the victim of a the American imperialist war machine. They're not heroes because their lifes were lost to a false cause. The real heroes actually won the war.

    • @maryannanderson7517
      @maryannanderson7517 4 года назад +2

      gatewaysolo104, I do too! I did a search for this song and I was lucky enough that my search listed the song with Jimmy Fortune and also with Lew so I was able to hear the same song by each of them back to back which I don't think I had ever done before. I love Jimmy Fortune but Lew's voice has something in it that is haunting or some quality that is hard to explain. Maybe it's the vibrato in Lew's voice that gives it a richness that is missing in Jimmy's voice. Lew was such a great singer.
      And this is just another great song by the Statler's! I have the Dickens of a time trying to come up with the name of my "favorite" Statler song. Maybe "Flowers on the Wall" because that's the first one I heard of them. But wait a minute, I also love "I'll go to my Grave Loving You" and "Maple Street Memories" so maybe one of those is my favorite. But then I also love "How are things in Clay, Kentucky" and "Elizabeth" and "Class of '57" and I can't forget "The Wall". See? It's impossible for me to pick my favorite. I was EXTREMELY lucky and got to go see them when they appeared in a little town sort of mid-way between Nashville and Chattanooga about 20 years ago. That was a performance I will never forget!

    • @jaysmith1408

      This is one, and as of now, the sole, song i prefer sung by Lew, normally i'm not fond of the, not shaky, but more errattic note hikes, Jimmy seems a bit more mellow, great and powerful, but on this song, Lew puts a bit more into it than Jimmy. As for favourite song, has to go to 'More than a name on a wall".

    I'm so glad the Statler Brothers retired when they were still at the top of their game. They didn't allow the fans to see them morph into senile old codgers with loose dentures and bad hair dye jobs. It's a shame the Oaks didn't follow suit.
