1. My favorite cover of this, a Sons of the Pioneers album I had in the 1950's.

2. Willie Nelson's cut of it on Red Haired Stranger is the best.

3. He composed it, right? I know he composed Patsy Clines' Crazy.

4. Fred Rose wrote it and Elton Britt recorded it first and Roy Acuff also recorded it. ...

... I'll listen to Patsy Cline any time.

This sound like the version you heard in the fifties?

5. No. The Sons of the Pioneer version is available on Youtube.

Elson Britt. My father was a fan and was happy to hear he was appearing in a bar in Paterson, N.J. So they got a babysitter for my ass and went to the show.

Years later, my mother reported the show was a disappointment as Elton was drunk.


Northern N.J. in the 40's and 50's had a "Cowboy" station that was broadcast out of the Mosque Theater in Newark, N.J. I remember Gene Autry, Tex Ritter, Bing's country stuff and on and on. Of my peers still around, one of the memories was a song, "Lay That Pistol Down. "

Back to Youtube, Lay That Pistol Down was by Bing and the Andrew Sisters.
