John Conlee sings "Old School" on Country's Family Reunion 

I was from the old school as well. Too bad my my wife wasn't. Good luck if you can find one from the old school

We need more youngsters who like the old school. Have a blessed life.

You damned straight

Elizabeth

Doesn’t even have to try

Yes people knowing how to sing and making us good feeling with it being real not fake in today's world I love this

He does not write any songs -'mostly he sings the songs written by one of the masters of songwriters named Harlan Howard and/or Hank Cochran

It's not too late but as a divorced man, 42, with 3 kids.... it's unbelievably hard. The dating world isn't 'old school' anymore

Roger Bowen Damn right. They both have unique voices and they’re also both very humble, down to earth great guys.

And one of the best

In Bakersfield CA they still play these songs on the radio. KCW 107.1

Nashville, TN 105.1 the wolf plays these treasures

In Phoenix 94.1

South of Atlanta, 100.1

@@johnbrown1568 yup! that's the one i listen to.

Randy Miller : Right on with your choices.....I call today’s music ‘counterfeit country’. A lot of noise by artists wearing their cleanest.dirty shirts.

Randy Miller lovely list. Love them all

Great choices! They are Amazing singers. mine has to be Waylon Jennings Merle haggard and willie Nelson!

There have been so many greats that it's hard to pick only five, but I'd have to add Merle Haggard among the best.

I'm right there with you brother, great to them still performing, sad to see them aging away.

Would be FANTASTIC NIGHT TO REMEMBER

Most people do a real days work and don't get paid what they are worth.

@@jaysmith2414 no they don't I used to do concrete work back in the early 90s and a crew of 3 of us could do 2 house foundations per day and we wheeled the concrete in wheelbarrows . That same company now has 6 people and they use all automated equipment and do 1 house foundation per week .

He was also an imbamer in louisville ky

H7h!

I agree, he was one of the BEST.

One of my favorite singers too.

When country was country

He still is

LOVE THIS AND JOHN TOO

For some of us, it is in our DNA; we can't loose it. We just earn the labels that assign us to the "old" and that's very right for me. My grandkids will never get to be of the "old" school no matter how old they get. It is something that happens miraculously and never given but earned; much like inevitability, dna, schooled in the hard knocks of life. The little red school house where I spent my first three years formed me as an adult. They just aren't the same environment these days as they were when I was in kindergarten. I started in Ithaca, NY and every time we moved the rules of each state were different and that's why I spend so many years in Kindergarten from NY to VA, to NJ. I ws the most over-educated kid on the block. L O L

Well hello there. My name is Donald Mayer. I was married for 28 years and I'm from the old school. My bride died in December of 2016. Many times, my wife said that I did not sign up for all the problems we had. Janet, let me make it abundantly clear I signed up for all the problems we had. I can only hope you have a husband who loves you with all his heart. If you don't, you're more than welcome to communicate with me. You may send me a reply if you want to do so. I'm so glad you have grandchildren. That is so wonderful! Janet, have a fantastic day!!!

@@donmayer58 - I am flabbergasted and thinking of how to begin this. Why on earth would anyone think for one minute that life would be easy and full of pink roses? I was one who looked at each dawning as a new day with no mistakes in it, yet. Being from the old school just means life was learned by living it and not by dreaming it from any tv show or someone's definition of it. LOVE is still a four letter word; its definition is simple enough: a verb. I don't think anyone ever thinks that any choice they make is an instant success story. It is not a reasonable assumption even for a child. I taught my children about the Law of Cause and Effect. It is always in play regardless if you believe it or not. No one "signs up" for a hard life but life will fool you and you have to be prepared to deal with it. You always have two choices and I deliberately chose to move forward, not backward. After the failure of my 8-year marriage to a military man I took a six year break trying to heal a broken heart. In that period of time I did a lot of growing up and into what became an extrovert, avoiding personal relationships, but developing my radio personality and becoming a party hostess for the singles group I belonged to in those days. It was a very important transition time for me and I eventually became a counselor for Suddenly Single people. I never realized that it would be a great training ground for dealing with six children, grand children and community service. I certainly take the time to count my blessings; I can't complain. I am abundantly blessed. I am always in overload and sometimes explosive - in the right way - mostly with my Dad's sense of humor. I really believe when things get tough - the tough get going. Not always to what the family appreciates, but nevertheless, reality and often in-check. And thanks for the comment. It's nice to find out that someone really does read this stuff! It's the only way I have of "letting it all hang out" and getting it out of my system. I married three times and each one worthy of a book. I've outlived everyone, much like my mother did and she lived to 101 and her mother to 104. So it looks like I have a way to go.

And as a side note from an old disc jockey: I love John Conlee's rendition of "The Old School and "Stuff That Works." My station played music considered "middle of the road" and Classics. Now I love country as you can tell by what John Conlee sings.

And Don Mayer, you have a very warm and comforting evening. Thank you for your sweet "Hello".

Mine two Sharon

Sharon, this is Donald. I found your comment to be most interesting. I wonder if you would be willing to tell me why this song brings a tear to your eye. Sharon, I'm 62 years old and have been blind since birth. I love this kind of music that has a positive message. Have you ever heard Alabama sing Down Home or Because he lives? Sharon, these are beautiful songs. I have plenty of other songs to tell you about if you're interested. Sharon, have a great day!!!

very touching indeed

Sounds good to me too, Christian, a good country song with a moral lesson...

Thank you

I was in the 80s so much has changed I'm trying to teach me kids the values I was taught as a kid

I've had the pleasure of getting to see John Conlee in concert here in Mobile Alabama about 5-6 time & got to meet him once in 1991...HE WAS JUST AS GOOD IF NOT BETTER EVERYTIME I SAW HIM & SO APPROACHABLE & GENUINE WITH ALL THE FANS!!! Much love from Mobile Alabama

Id love to c him in concert
