Rayman,
I would suggest "Why Don't You Haul Off and Love Me One More Time". I know of a few more but can't think of the titles right now. I'll e-mail you when I remember them. Oh yeah, there's a good Simon Crum(Ferlin's alter ego) song "Country Music is Here to Stay". It's a hoot!

"I Feel Better All Over More Than Anywheres Else". Good "kicker opener".

"Next to Jimmy". It was recorded at a time when Jerry Byrd was giving his "last breath" to the dying non-pedal steel era in Nashville.
And his turn around is considered by many to be the most beautiful ever recorded behind a singer on a non pedal steel. Walter Haynes gets that honor behind Little Jimmy Dickens on "We Could" on pedal steel.
If you have not heard this recording by Ferlin Husky, do yourself a favor and, beg, borrow or s..... one and listen to it.
It is an incredibly beautiful piece of steel playing.
God richly bless Jerry Byrd and ALL of you,

| I forgot about that one Smiley. You're my new super-hero. Another one is "The Letter You Promised To Write" I think Ferlin is one of the most unique stylist country music ever had. Also one of the funniest too. I'll keep thinking. Mike |

| You know I feel like a big idiot. Tha song "Why Don't You Haul Off And Love Me" was done by everybody in the 50s and I was actually thinking of the song Smiley posted but that title came out. Although he might have covered it. I know that Hank Locklin had it out on the Please Help Me I'm Fallin' album. Sorry for the screw up. You're still my hero Smiley. Mike the Village idiot |

| Here is a song "NOT" to use, but, one of my favorites anyway, Room For a Boy Never Used...always chokes me up. Now, if your doing a grand opening for a funeral home...Pat |

| I just tried it. It works. If Jerry's turnaround doesn't bring a tear to your eye, you are dead! Jim |

Don't feel bad Mike. Been there,done that myself,more than once. Actually,"..Haul Off..") was written by Wayne Raney & Lonnie Glosson,& originally recorded by Wayne,on King Records. Wayne & Lonnie used to have ads in the back of,the publication, "Country Song Round-Up" for a guitar course,(Lonnie) & a harmonica course (Wayne). Of course,that was before your time Mike.

| Smiley, I'll have to show you my collection of old sngbooks including C.S.R.'s. Granted I'm not quite your age but I grew up with this music and I still find the stuff from back then the best and most fasinating. Take it easy. Mike |
