I have always loved his music and that particular song is one of my favorites. So sad he's gone.

The Statlers are the best song writers ever! Their songs tell a special story, love their play on words. Everyone should listen to the words they wrote for their Holy Bible album..I'm not religious but I love that album!

When I was a kid I went to his show. He was the warm up act for Conway Twitty. . It was in Nashville Michigan. My grandparents liked country music so I went I also saw Willie Nelson and Alabama. Not a country fan though
