[TwangThang2010]

Love Charlie Walker! Brilliant thanks for uploading!

[rw1sgusa]

Thanks The late Great Jimmy Day is one of my all time favorite I have a picture of him and Ray Price at a local amuzment Park here in 1964

[grandstef]

Would anybody know which Martin model he is playing ?

[rigley5]

@grandstef Its a Martin 000-28. He purchased it in 1953 and had it refinished along the way. It was up for sale recently at £7,500.

If you like this go to Texas or RFD TV and listen to Jake Hooker and Bobby Flores and other great honky tonk singers. Vern

man o man! is this good music or what?!

[raybay30]

@MrJearlray Damn right it is, I love this song and another one of Harlan's songs that really grabs me is "The Key is' in the Mailbox" They reach right into my heart. If this isn't great music I don't know what is.

[manwhassup1]

Whoa! Looks like everybody and their brother covered this song. That's the ultimate compliment for any musician. Truly timeless song.

[TheCINDYBATES]

AWESOME!!

[gomudhen]

Check out Charlie's sweet axe!

[dek1937]

This music would still be on the radio if it wasn't for infinity and all those big shots running everthing for the buck. It is all for the teen 's now. Doug in Seattle

[TheLondonLassie]

Love this old stuff. Grew up listening to Charlie Walker. So great to get to see and hear it again on youtube!

[sanpedrohustler]

Excuuuuse Me Mam...

Would ya like to dance?

[methodistgirl]

I sure wished country music was still that pure. I don't

really care about what is out now. What they play on the

stations now I wouldn't give a dime for.

We went to a Jody Nix dance last Sat night and he broke out with this one first and filled the floor! It has been my wife Cindy's favorite since she first heard it at rodeo dances in the 60's. We have danced to it every time we have heard it the last 38 years! Thanks10+++++

[Nana2Livi]

@dgtxdutch I'm just a gal from Georgia, but I have heard about Jody Nix here. Wish I could hear a good Western Swing band one more time! I love Asleep At the Wheel, but they never get this way anymore.

[dgtxdutch]

@Nana2Livi Yes, we are lucky out here in Texas to be able to here this music with a little travel. But i do remember the 80's when it was a desert for good dance music. None could be found.

[cpnstav]

Real music has a beginning and an end Thanks forposting it was great

[clarebannerman]

Brings me way back ------- lovely ♪♫ ♥. It was recorded as a cover version in Ireland in the early '60s by a lady by the name of Masie McDaniell (R.I.P) ---but this is the definitive version.

[rubbing2001]

Boy do I remember this song, it was a major hit, all the juke boxes had it. For those that don't know what a juke box is: it's a carousel record player that had great sound.

[biggestkrisfan]

Nice song, love it.

[coachrv31]

Thanks for bringing back these "real" country songs. I remember seeing Charlie perform this song at the Grand Ole Opry many years ago. It was the first time I was ever there but remember quite vividly the singers I saw that night. Charlie Walker was one of them, and have always enjoyed his songs. Thanks ever so much, mrronniea, for a great video. He indeed had some great songs.

[gabbydeb]

My favorite Charlie Walker song is Charlie's Shoes, although I really like this one too.

[GracieFleury]

I love Charley Walker...I had two of his albums when i was younger and i played them over and over,,,well my older brother got tired of hearing them,and hid my albums in the freezer,,did i cry.

He is one of the best. Thank you for sharing.

[sprite3517]

YAH! YOU RULE MAN!!! WOOT!

[Jrebindixie]

........awesome, this is what country music is suppost to sound like. Jreb

[GodsFavoriteBassPlyr]

@Jrebindixie Yours is one of the most accurate posts I've ever seen on 'the tube' - thanks!

[fiddler1987]

Who is the steel player? That is a very unique break !

[welshhillbillyful]

I think it is Walter Haynes.

[fiddler1987]

@welshhillbillyful Thanks !

[charltonwalker]

Dad was actually not laughing at the steel guitar player but clearing his throat. All of us inherited from dad allergies and alot of phlegm. Dad was always clearing his throat around the house and I find myself doing the same during allergy season. During the solo I think he was finding a good spot to clear his throat. As far as Abe Lincoln goes, well, he's been told that before. Kinda creepy. Thanks for all of the support.

[smitty54017]

The world was certainly blessed to have heard your dad's voice. Always been one of my favorites.

[BOBFORDD]

Your dad had one of the greatest songs ever with

Don't Squeeze My Sharmon.

I wonder who wrote it.

[welshhillbillyful]

He was never in the same class as Ray Price as a singer,but as an exponent of honky tonk music he was up there with the best.

[stashnut73]

True Ray Price was a crooner stylist that was in the class of Sinatra. Ray Price could cross any genre but western swing was his forte. But very good point on Charly Walker and well put.

Many Thanks...

[wrotenwasp]

CLASSIC honkey tonk. Abe lincoln without the beard? Yeah. How about Sam Shepard the actor?

[DolphinKarlheinz]

I love that pure Honky Tonk Sound from the past.

[terreplein]

Great version. Charlie looks a lot like Abe Lincoln before the beard here...

[kg4muc]

Steeler reminds me a lot of Lloyd Greene..

Can't tell for sure though :)

[xo51xo]

A true classic! Thanks for posting.

[comdrsca]

Yeah i was disappointed when this disappeared.... Glad it's back !!!

Okay...someone PLEASE tell me who was the steeler here.... I'm pretty good with this, but am drawing a blank here, and no one has ever eluded as to who it is... He sure seems to be having a blast tho...and even cracks Charlie up at 1:09

[roadwarrior3]

A giant thanks to mrronniea for re-posting this particular video clip on "Youtube" of legendary Charlie Walker performing his signature song "Pick me up on your way down."

[meterman2]

Classic track from a master. RIP Charlie.

[loungecruz]
