Is "Asleep at The Wheel" still around?

Yup --- they were here in town last year. Ray is still doing the *boogie-woogie* Texas style, like he always has. :)

That there's a band that will never compromise on their music.

[likeaneagle]

I went to the "Country Thunder" music festival in Wisconsin (BOWTWI-right out your back door) 2 summers ago, and Willie Nelson played for about 2 hrs...loved it..the setting was in a huge field ...folks were doing the 2 step and iit was great fun......a very nice, not rowdy crowd.

"what is your favorite country song and artist, if you have any??"

Sorry, I don't share your taste with regards to music. C&W is somewhat akin to noise pollution, IMHO.

I'd put it right up there with "Rap" and "New Age", as in "ewww".

There's jazz and there's noise, and not much else in my world, I'm afraid...

Oh, but hey, Happy Birthday anyway!

Ya gotta broaden your horizons, buddy. I enjoy all kinds of music (rap crap is NOT music) including jazz, country, bluegrass, classical, and show tunes among others depending on the mood i'm in.

No blues?

Ted must be thrilled. Show tunes huh! ;)

Oh btw, I saw you talking about chicken. Ask him about chicken sometime. :)

[moony3424]

Ted must be thrilled. Show tunes huh! ;) Love show tunes. In fact, in a couple of semesters ago, I wrote a paper called, "Sound of Music Therapy".

Oh btw, I saw you talking about chicken. Ask him about chicken sometime. :) I already know :huh: .

hahahahahahahaha....on the chicken......hahahahaha

I am surprised no one has mentioned the greatest country song of all time, Up Against the Wall Redneck Mother.

UP AGAINST THE WALL REDNECK MOTHER

(Ray Wylie Hubbard)

Bobby Bare

Jerry Jeff Walker

First Take

He was born in West Virginia,

His wife's name's Betty Lou Thelma Liz

And he's not responsible for what he's doing

Cause his mother made him what he is.

And it's up against the wall Redneck Mother,

Mother, who has raised her son so well.

He's thirty-four and drinking in a honky tonk.

Just kicking hippies asses and raising hell.

Sure does like his Falstaff beer,

Likes to chase it down with that Wild Turkey liquor;

Drives a fifty-seven GMC pickup truck;

He's got a gun rack; "Goat ropers need love, too" sticker

And it's up against the wall Redneck Mother,

Mother, who has raised her son so well.

He's thirty-four and drinking in a honky tonk.

Just kicking hippies asses and raising hell.

Well,

M is for the mudflaps you give me for my pickup truck

O is for the Oil I put on my hair

T is for T-bird

H is for Haggard

E is for eggs, and

R is for REDNECK.

Up against the wall Redneck Mother,

Mother, who has raised her son so well.

He's thirty-four and drinking in a honky tonk.

Kicking hippies asses and raising hell.

Hold the music...this actually is the ultimate country western song.

You Never Even Call Me By My Name

Writer: Steve Goodman

It was all I could do to keep from cryin'

Sometimes it seemed so useless to remain

But you don't have to call me darlin' darlin'

You never even call me by my name.

You don't have to call me Waylon Jennings

And you don't have to call me Charley Pride

And you don't have to call me Merle Haggard anymore

Even though you're on my fighting side.

And I'll hang around as long as you will let me

And I never minded standin' in the rain

But you don't have to call me darlin' darlin'

You never even call me by my name.

Spoken:

Well, you know me and The Possum Eatin' Cowboys have

been playin' this song for a long time out there on the

road. It's a touchin' little Steve Goodman number 'bout

trains and trucks and mamas and prison and gettin' drunk.

So anyway, me and the boys got together and we asked

Mr. David Allen Coe and a few of our other heroes if they

wouldn't mind singin' with us on what has proven itself to

be the perfect country western song.

I was drunk the day my mama got out of prison

And I went to pick her up in the rain

But before I could get to the station in the pickup truck

She got ran over by a damned old train.

So I'll hang around as long as you will let me

And I never minded standin' in the rain

You don't have to call me darlin' darlin'

You never even call me....

Well I wonder why you don't call me...

Why don't you ever call me by my name.

[ex70sHouston]

Is "Asleep at The Wheel" still around?

Lets me see. O yes. They are in town doind a Bob Wills tribute Thursday, friday and saturday at 7:30.

If your real good you can figure out where I live.

PSSSSSSSSTTTTT......

[Brother Speed]

Well this just aint no 'red neck woman' thread without them Gretchen Wilson lyrics. So without further adieu,

GRETCHEN WILSON LYRICS

"Redneck Woman"

Well, I ain't never been the Barbie doll type

No, I can't swig that sweet Champagne, I'd rather drink beer all night

In a tavern or in a honky tonk or on a four-wheel drive tailgate

I've got posters on my wall of Skynyrd, Kid and Strait

Some people look down on me, but I don't give a rip

I'll stand barefooted in my own front yard with a baby on my hip

'Cause I'm a redneck woman

I ain't no high class broad

I'm just a product of my raising

I say, 'hey ya'll' and 'yee-haw'

And I keep my Christmas lights on

On my front porch all year long

And I know all the words to every Charlie Daniels song

So here's to all my sisters out there keeping it country

Let me get a big 'hell yeah' from the redneck girls like me, hell yeah

Victoria's Secret, well their stuff's real nice

But I can buy the same damn thing on a Wal-Mart shelf half price

And still look sexy, just as sexy as those models on TV

No, I don't need no designer tag to make my man want me

Well, you might think I'm trashy, a little too hardcore

But in my neck of the woods I'm just the girl next door

I'm a redneck woman

I ain't no high class broad

I'm just a product of my raising

I say, 'hey y'all' and 'yee-haw'

And I keep my Christmas lights on

On my front porch all year long

And I know all the words to every Tanya Tucker song

So here's to all my sisters out there keeping it country

Let me get a big 'hell yeah' from the redneck girls like me, hell yeah

Hey, I'm a redneck woman

And I ain't no high class broad

I'm just a product of my raising

And I say, 'hey y'all' and 'yee-haw'

And I keep my Christmas lights on

On my front porch all year long

And I know all the words to every ol' Bocephus song

So here's to all my sisters out there keeping it country

Let me get a big 'hell yeah' from the redneck girls like me, hell yeah

Hell yeah, hell yeah

Hell yeah

I said hell yeah!

[Belle]

Let me get a big 'hell yeah' from the redneck girls like me....

HELL YEAH!!!

Belle--crank it up!!!!

So tell me ladies...

Do YOU wear a belt with your name on the back?

Do YOU put peanuts in your bottle (or can) of Coke?

Do you own a pair of overalls with the legs cut off for those really hot days? (NOTE: Buying them already cut off doesn't count.)

Are you often seen in town wearing grey sweats and calf high rubber boots worn on the outside? (This is required for working with livestock and most gardening.)

Is the most common label in your closet "Carhartt"?

Do you occasionally or frequently operate a brush hog?

Just some typical traits of a REAL "redneck" woman.

[Belle]

So tell me ladies...

Do YOU wear a belt with your name on the back?

No, but I have a braided leather one and one that has a right nice huge belt buckle from a rodeo on it, does that count?

Do YOU put peanuts in your bottle (or can) of Coke?

Yes, but I prefer an RC Cola and a Moon Pie.

Do you own a pair of overalls with the legs cut off for those really hot days? (NOTE: Buying them already cut off doesn't count.)

I used to have quite the assortment of 'em, but I don't have any right now - not easy to find down here in FL.

Are you often seen in town wearing grey sweats and calf high rubber boots worn on the outside? (This is required for working with livestock and most gardening.)

Can't wear sweats in FL unless you're absolutely nuts. I do wear my rubber boots on the outside if'n I'm so inclined to need to wear 'em. I sometimes een have my gardening gloves sticking out of my back pocket.

Is the most common label in your closet "Carhartt"?

Nope. Like Gretchen Wilson's song says, "I can buy the same damn thing on a Wal-Mart shelf half price." All my men (all my SOUTHERN MEN) have worn Carhartt, though. ;)

Do you occasionally or frequently operate a brush hog?

I thought it was "bush hawg" - leastways that's what we always called 'em. ;) And, while I've ridden on quite a few, I'm not akin to operating them much myself.

Just some typical traits of a REAL "redneck" woman.

Do I pass? ^_^

1. Ron: you didn't ask about shooting skills, ability to homegrow tomatos, or the ability to string a trot-line.

2. I saw David Allan Coe sign that song live. He had the tightest band I've ever heard in my life. Not even Willie Nelson's could rival it. It really IS the perfect country western song.

3. I think that "Country" is Willie, George Strait, Hank (either Sr. or Jr.) ,my homeboy Garth Brooks, and much of the stuff on modern "country" radio. I think that "Western" is some of Willie's stuff, very little of the others' stuff, but some, and anything by the Sons of the Pioneers.

You have to understand that I haven't lived in Texas since my apprentice year, before the 9th Corps, but it's hard to outlive 5 generations of conditioning.

Thank God.

[likeaneagle]

uuhhhmmm.whats a bush hog??

I have driven a tractor..

I have used a lean too.

I took a survival class at Rome City, skinned a deer, made my own bow,slept on hay bales.I can do the Electric slide and the 2 step, I was a master ice skater which I could skate the Tango,Waltz, and Fox Trot.

I dont leave my xmas lights up all year long..

I own bib overalls.

I have stayed at world class resorts.

Versaltility is the spice of life.....

I prefer my peanuts in a RC pop!!

I used to lean too, but then I quit drinking. ;)

uuhhhmmm. whats a bush hog??

That could be construed as some sort of politcal entity (these days!) :P, but generally it refers to one of them thar *evil* mechanical beasts that burns gasoline for it's cylinders while spewing forth obnoxious exhaust fumes into the atmosphere as it chews up and spits out precious foliage growing from Mother Earth.

It's hated by the *environmental wacko commies*, and revered by all those who have a serious love for a well maintained yard free of pesky brush that refuses to grow elsewhere. *Not in my backyard* is a favourite phrase of bush hog (brush hawg) owners. :D

(Ps -- They should be on sale at your local Menard's and Home Depot's -- since they need to make room for all the snow-blowers they are now getting into stock!) :lol:

Belle...ya done good! I forget you live in Florida where there's essentially only one season. I lived there my WOW year and have been trying to forget it ever since. The best thing to ever come out of Florida is the "97th Regimental String Band". They come here and perform once or twice a year and Branson about the same. If you ever get a chance to see them, DO IT! Tell the bass player, Rick Moock,you have a message from Arkinsaw, then just thumb your nose. He'll understand and get a big laugh.

1. Ron: you didn't ask about shooting skills, ability to homegrow tomatos, or the ability to string a trot-line.

I didn't mention shooting because girls are generally better shots than boys and fact might turn into a derail. In my neighborhood, it's just as common to see women carrying rifles as it is for men during deer season and pistols in the summer for snakes.

I forgot to mention tomatoes and trot lines although they're pretty much a given.

I'm a David Allen Coe fan and have met him a few times, although I haven't seen him in over 15 years. He used to sing at rallys held by motorcycle clubs and other organizations. Have you ever heard any of his "private issue" stuff?

There's a DAC store and museum in Branson. MO run by his daughter.

likeaeagle...

Bush hawg is a generic term, while "Brush Hog" is a brand name. It's a mowing deck that is pulled by a tractor, typically, with a category 1, three point hitch. The blades are operated by a shaft connected to the PTO. Mine is 5ft wide and, like 99% of them, is rust colored LOL. If you're familiar with all that terminology, you're a REAL woods dweller.
