      Geez Steve I only got 5 years on you
      These where just a couple of tunes I listened to when I was a little tike.
      My father didn't play any instruments but was a dance instructor.
      He also enjoyed listening to good tunes, like we do.
      On any night you would hear country like Willis and Waltzes and big band.
      I still listen to it at times and still enjoy it all.
      Best video I've seen all day, ThomM! And my favorite trio, too!

      And Bob Wills and The Texas Playboys to boot?! Ahhhh, yes!

      Thanks! Don't see why I don't stay a little longer!
      Thanks Allan, just take off your coat and throw it in the corner
      I think that trio is a guy thing, I know it's why I picked that video and not one of the others with that song.

Oh, times were hard back then. That's why we listened to the radio. (TV? What was that?)

          I actually did throw my coat in the corner once and some guy stepped on it!

          Holy Batman, Crap!!! I think we went to the same school!
          Love San Antonio Rose, I sing it at work a lot.
