@wolfie13m Well, I it has been just over 2 years now and I don't miss them AT ALL! LOL I tried may time to quit but just couldn't do it till I WAS READY. I used Chantex and it made it easy actually.
Actually this song was written by Merle Travis for Tex Williams . Tex came by Merle's house, and said he was going to the recording studio soon, and asked Merle for a hit song. Merle went into his house, came out with a pen and paper, and smoking a cigarette - the rest is history.
Lucky man you, Buck.. I've started smoking at 17, and now near to turn 45 I couldn't stop already. Anyway I can cover Tex Williams with my bass voice, hehehehehe... Congratulations, and greetings from Spain.
My Dad told me about the video. He never smoked, but his Mom does, [maybe that's the reason he doesn't?]. I've been told by more smokers to never start.
Congratulations!!!So glad you quit.Tell Barney and Fred to quit too,they've always been my friends,and I never knew they smoked.Very creative video.I saw Merle Travis do this song,he was a great guitarist,as you well know.Excellent video and performance.God bless-Jerry
Merle was great, he really the booze hard too as well as some other things. I read Johnny Cash's autobiography and he and Merle had a lot of 1 day party's that lasted for a week.
Buck, thanks for the video. If the comm, er "progressives" in Washington have their way, we are gonna pay taxes on our breaks we take while at work. Thank God for giving me the discipline to quit my 2 pack a day habit back in 1983. *****.
Had to pause halway through until I found my cigarettes Buck! lol Seriously - GOOD FOR YOU my friend. This song was an excellent way to mark the occasion. Brilliant! Yes,the prices here are terrible and rising regularly! Stars and hugs..
Thanks Jan, yeah the prices are not high because they are concerned for our health it is to stick taxes on something that most people won't complain about. But thank goodness I don't have send them anymore "sin" taxes.
Thanks, Buck . . and congratulations *cough - cough* on your 6 months smokefree!
