Country Music legends.
Just some of the giants of country music who have shaped my life musically.

Without her help my task would have been that much more difficult. With gratitude, John

'The Friend I never knew'
I`d like to tell a story friends, this story is sad but true.
About a friend that I once had, a friend I never knew.
I came upon this friend of mine through songs he used to sing.
He`d sing of love and tregedy and the heartaches life could bring.
Well, I`d listen to his records and think, it`s just a song.
I thought these things don`t happen and for me life would never go wrong.
Regretfully I know now to my sorrow and my cost,
his words turned out a prophesy of a love I found and lost.
I`ve never forgotten that friend of mine although he`s dead and gone.
In song his philosophy and memory, forever linger on,
I have`nt named that friend of mine, but you`ll know him when you start
to play that claassic song he wrote and called it,
Your Cheatin` heart.
John Duncan, Dedicated to a true legend.

Country singer Johnny PayCheck, best known for his 1977 workingman's anthem "Take This Job and Shove It," has died at 64. on February 20, 2003
Specializing in earthy, plainspoken songs, PayCheck recorded 70 albums and had more than two dozen hit singles. His biggest hit was "Take This Job and Shove It," which inspired a movie by that name, and a title album that sold 2 million copies.
His other hits included "Don't Take Her, She's All I Got" (which was revived 25 years later in 1996 by Tracy Byrd), "I'm the Only Hell Mama Ever Raised," "Slide Off Your Satin Sheets," "Old Violin" and "You Can Have Her."
"My music's always been about life. And situations. Situation comedies, situation life," he said in 1997. |
