Great Song...Peace Old Hippie

[martinbell1000]

Great song. First heard it on an 8-track in 1974.

[seanwat3]

I remember my grandma playing this song on a crank - up record player as we had no power on the farm. She had several of Hanks albums . Everyone would quietly sit round and listen intently...that was family love back then, something lost years ago!!

never heard this before and ill never forget it eather !

Hank Snow is among the greatest of country's legends.

[ArkRed1]

Talk about a song that would bring a tear to a glass eye, (especially if you're a combat veteran)this one has to be right up there with Old Shep and Red Foley's "Steal Away". Hank's song "The Runt" is another great narration. We'll never see the likes of this talented man again. RIP Singin' Ranger.

One of Hank Snow's greatest.

Boy does this bring back memories Beautiful song

[sgmk0]

One of the band was called Kayton(?) Roberts, it was either the fiddle or the steel guitar he played. I'm trying to picture an old Grand Ole Opry video that I have somewhere from when STV showed the Opry here in Scotland for a brief period about 15 or so years ago.

I also saw this track on this week's edition of the Porter Wagoner Show on Rural. Absolutely fantastic. Song's like this, and the tradgedie's are Hank Snow's forte. Nobody performs these better.

[barrowvalley]

I just saw Hank Snow perform this great monologue on the Porter Waggoner Show on Rural TV. No one can deliver this sort of song like Hank Snow.

I thought I heard all of Hanks songs. This is one I am sorry to say I missed. Touching, very touching

Kenrew,

I agree with you cashpresley. As far as the great Johnny Cash is concerned, I would rate only Hank Snow and Tex Ritter on the same level. Johnny Cash's "Mean As Hell" on the "Ballads of the True West" album is absolute magic.

[5869074]

Kenrew,

No one but no one can beat Hank Snow at

narration.

I first heard this nearly 50 years ago

and it sounds as good now as it did then.

Magic!

[CashPresley32]

I think Johnny Cash is very good in narration, and I don't think anybody could beat him.

[salmonfire]

@5869074 what about Tom T Hall?

[wallypog222]

why cant we download anymore?

[barrowvalley]

I get the "Download this Video" option and this allows me to download any video from YouTube.

[countrybible]

I have this on an old LP,great to find it on the net, many thanks for posting it, it's a beautiful song superbly sung by the master!

[countrybible]

Hi oldmusiclover, unfortunately I don't have any way of copying it. It's an old albumn called "Country Giants" (1971) CDS 1098. It has various artists on including Jim Reeves, Chet Atkins, Eddy Arnold and Skeeter Davis. You may still be able to pick that one up, HTH's? If I find a way to copy it I'll let you know.

[oldermusiclover]

thats ok. someone else left me a memo on my e about coping some of his tunes

i tried to send a reply, but it didn't go through if it is ou please check back with a

e address. to all of you out there, especially

Bear. Merry Christmas. God Bless
