An Army buddy from the Great State of Texas turned me on to Moe Bandy and Skoal while we were overseas in the ‘70s. I recently learned my buddy passed away in 2008. I think of him and those days when I hear Moe. Here’s to ya Ricky!
good old days. Helotes Texas. life was so much simpler back then. Moe Bandy and pearl beer. sitting by a creek and enjoying the man's music. the cool thing about it is I used to work with his brother Rusty. wilford hall medical center. like I said good old day.
Artistically, Moe Bandy's version is my favorite because having a man sing it raises a lot of doubts. Since he admits that he loves the rodeo as much as he loves her, makes you think that he will leave her crying, that her parents are right about him. Moe really nailed this song. That being said, I love the other versions, also.
My parents are dear friends of Moe's, they were at the recording of this. We have a cassette somewhere where you can hear everyone talking, laughing and having a reat time. I remember Moe coming over our house, I hid under the table when I see Moe because I had lost one of my front teeth. Time flys, I am amost 40. Phyllis (madien name Yarbrough)
Reminds me of this blonde, after we rode the farres wheel, together, long time coming, l kissed her to shut her up. I'd of married her right then and there, of course by the time l was roping in Tingley, we'd of been married. Instead, we were both together, but with some other. This Indin in love with a white girl, heavy hurt to fall in love and nothing to show for it. Being in rodeo had its romance and its romance, you know what l mean? The immense love for it, the way of life it gave you, giving you a gift in giving you the feeling, the feeling nothing else can give you, but categorically in a sense. It being accompanied by support and a dream, the damn hurt of it all loosing it. Which is a hurt loosing the privilege to compete, loosing what was certain, to accomplish your dreams set for yourself, set up by yourself. Then the romance that is already known, comes with the romance of the rodeo life, ☝🏼 being a rodeo man and sharing it with the other is in its own category in which both can't ever compete against one another. Though cut short by long distance, it was all the spark we shared glancing at one another during the performance and still that feel'n sits with me. 🥺 🤭 😀 ☝🏼😉 323,834
@Glenda Stemple 🎶 Someday soon, she'll go with me, someday soon, when l visit her, her pa's got only one thing, its b-cuz he was just as wild, back in his early days, so you blow you old blue Northern, blow me on my way, lm driving back....🎶 Two crushes, but both don't know the other had a crush on he other. Inviting me to hang out thinking it was our friends saying, "yeah, call him to get his a$$ over here," like the cookouts at the park and naturally, because we were the only two singles and our friends were all coupled up. What a swell bunch we were, ld be hanging out with the guys and she'd be with the gals. To be Continued
I think this was a Kingston Trio song originally. An old folk song anyway. Then Judy Collins recorded it. I like Kingston Trio's version just the same.
@56pw Wrong. Ian Tyson, legendary cowboy country singer and former member of folk duo Ian & Sylvia wrote this song, which was also recorded by Judy Collins and Suzy Bogguss. Moe Bandy is just another late period country singer who inspired the unfortunate modern country movement that destroyed country music as we knew and loved.
This remake that Moe made of his own hit isn't bad, but it isn't nearly as good as his original from 1982, in my opinion... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_7gPHNUPm3g.html
