Priceless--and advice that actually taught me a couple of important things I now try to keep in mind if such a situation arises, from a 'silly old country song', no less.
The inimitable Shel Silverstein wrote this song. I have been a fan of his ever since I was a kid. He was a genius and a true renaissance man who seemed to excel at everything he did. He wrote songs in a number of genres (NOT just country-western), was an brilliant artist and cartoonist, and published books of prose and poetry in a number of styles, including children's books. About the only thing he lacked was a decent singing voice; although his songs were so good, and his style so unique, that audiences didn't seem to mind.
Shel was amazing, just ask the guys from DR. HOOK they did over 20 of his songs including "Cover of the Rolling Stone" I had two shel favorites "Big Four Poster Bed" a hit for Brenda lee and "The Unicorn Song" by the Irish Rovers. And as for shel "A front row seat to hear ol Johnny Sing" is a stand out.
This is when singers sounded just like they did on their recordings. Today you don't need to be a good singer to sale recordings. Auto tune will do the singing for you.
Great Shel Silverstein tune, so many of his songs done by Bobby Bear, Dr. Hook etc. If only we could have had Shel sing more of his own songs it would have been perfect. About the only one we hear is his "to her old Johnny sing". What a record Shel Silverstein sings his hits would have been I can hear his singing "That Four Poster Bed" and "Ha Loretta" and "The Cover of the Rolling Stone" dang..
after all I been through I thought I was a winner!! After a stroke I,m a loser my winning days are over! My brain is so messed up it forgot who I was!! my toung don't taste nomore my right eye don't see no more, I been in the hospitals all I,m goin to be so that makes me a losed wow!!

I think his voice is nearly perfect for his type of music.
@Bobby Bare from Salem VA, born in Nashville
@Bobby Bare I would love to. I have been a die-hard fan since "Detroit City".

Hats off to Shel Silverstein who wrote the lyrics and the music.

Yeah, but have you seen the other guy?
Good old country.
What show was this on? It looks kind of familiar like something I would have watched in the 70's.
I let my mouth over ride my ability when I was in the army. That was a trip 69 to 72. Still ft. Bragg.
...and a handsome man...
❤❤😊❤❤😊
I worshipped Bobby Bare.still do.
❤❤❤
Never mess with the old guy at the bar
Don't hear this kind of good music anymore
Good'un.
Makes me think about my dad
Thanks but I don't have anything, but love you
They have removed Kris Kristofferson's version of this song. Once you've heard that, no others will suffice..
It's still on here.
You gain nothing by fighting..
Feeling in my bones & teeth tonight…just saying.🙃
DROP KICK ME JESUS 0:30 0:30
