it was the whole package, Emmons, song lyric content and projected emotional stuff around looking in the mirror and seeing my dad's face, combined with lack of sleep to produce a grown man driving on the interstate with tears streaming down his face...

For me, it's a toss-up among three songs: Waylon Jennings' version of "Loving Her Was Easier Than Anything I'll Ever Do Again", Glen Campbell's "Galveston" with those deep, mellow tones on the guitar at the end of the song, and "Heaven Everyday" by Mel Tillis with Mr. Terry Bethel on steel- BEAUTIFUL!

I could list every song Hank Williams ever wrote, but that might not be appreciated by most. Hank's been gone for 53 years and he's still got it! Hats-off to Mr. Don Helms on that note!

Thanks for your time!

Another one was "Cherokee(revisited)" on his new CD by Mike McGee. I would have sworn it was Curly Chalker ! You need to hear both of these. (IMHO)

I was roaming round in Nashville in the state of Tennessee
For I love that country music it's as soulful as can be
I have gathered there the records for I cherished every name
So I found myself a standing in the Country Hall of Fame
My heart beat somehow faster as I walked in through the door
For I heard the sound of voices I had often heard before
A happy kind of sadness brought a teardrop to my eye
Now I'll tell you what I saw there and I'm sure that you'll see why

Jimmie Rodgers' railroad lantern and his faithful old guitar
I could hear that old blue yodel coming from somewhere up far
Roy Acuff in bronze likeness with that great Fred Rose his friend
And I heard that Wabash Cannonball somewhere around the bend
The guitar of Eddy Arnold memories of Cattle Call
Chet Atkins will be with him when the work's all done this fall
From the autoharp of Maybelle Wildwood Flower seems to ring
Rally Packett and Gid Penner how they all could pick and sing

I could hear George Hay Mason as I stood there in the room
I could hear Tex Ritter singing his classic song High Noon
Minnie Pearl so glad to be there and Hank Snow keeps Movin' On
May the Lord bless those still living and the ones who's joined his throne
Cowboy Copas Hawkshaw Hawkins Gentleman Jim and Patsy Cline
Rod Bradsfield Ira Louvin these stars will always shine
Ernest Tubb and great Red Foley and Hank Williams bless his name
Though some are gone they'll live forever in the Country Hall of Fame
