What a great story and song. What part of Texas are you from? Keep up the playing..

Merry Christmas

[robbourassaguitarist]

Thanks.

My mom is from Lubbock.

I'm from Wyandotte Michigan.

[winddance368]

Your mom is not from Lubbock.  She was born in a little town in East Texas (Naples) and grew up in Dallas. I know your mom very well.

five stars both for the singer (who underestimates his own talent) and the songwriter, --it is never too late! Wow, thats a great song...be sure and tell your pa, and let your Ma know she can sing, anytime--let her hide behind a potted plant if need be--it is a remarkable musical family you have, it seems--I'm a fan.

sincerely, Laurie

Always love a good waltz. Bravo, Bob Bourassa!

[Kikalani]

I hear a little Elvis and Bing Crosby in here too. Very nice.

[hotfirecaster]

Please keep singing your dad's tunes!

It's great!

Congrats from Paris France to all your talented family!!!

A bientôt,

Chris

I'm with Myavrick - your sound is more like Marty Robbins - he was unique ..really enjoyed his music.

If you sound that much like Marty while copying J. Cash -how you would sound if you TRIED to do Marty's songs !? Your voice is smoother, more melodic, greater range, less baritone than Johnny. I think you could win the Nashville Star contest...could definitely make a living here in Nashville. Nice way to honor your Father and Mother !

Rob, sweet song, sweet singer. Happy Anniversary to your mom and dad.

[Myavrick]

Rob, You sounded great. I instantly thought of Marty Robbins when I heard this played. He was a favorite of my Moms. He closed the show at the Ryman one night about a year before they moved the show to the new building.

[robbourassaguitarist]

I love Marty Robbins. He was a great singer and always had the best guitarists working with him. He was no slouch as a guitarist either.

I think he probably had one of the best country voices, and his songs were as good as were written.

If you want to see a good impersonation of Marty, look at Merle Haggard doing his. He did Marty and Bob Wills as good as you could imagine.

[SilverBackSonar]

Happy Anniversary to your Mom & Dad! How lucky they are to have a fabulous loving gift like this.

Rob, what a great anniversary gift. I am sure your parents will be pleased. Not only with the song, but also to have a son like you. You certainly captured the country flavor with this one. Thank you. Your voice is fine.
