I am young wished I could have seen him will 34 being drunk a few times by gary

[1samtoo]

We used to see him @ The Crystal Chandelier & Billy Bob's in Texas. Love him & his music. He never really got the break he was over due !!!!!

[MPMTMX]

I grew up as a boy in Ft. Pierce FL. My aunt was head bartender at a place called Frankie & Johnny's (miss ya Aunt Jo). Gary was there singing pretty often. I got to see him a couple times, but he'd sing a song and be done when I got there. One night at a little place called Burns Steak House or "Rialto's" Gary was there and we got him to sing. I barely knew him but he asked me to help sing his songs... and I'm no singer. Just a plain old guy with a horrible voice singing with a true great! MP

[dbletrble1971]

i cut my teeth on all of the ole honky tonk ballards and it doesnt get better than gary! anytime im in the mood gary is first on my list. never really knew why he wasnt more poplar and its sad to now why..... but no one can take away who he was.... the best in my book.

[metoo30001]

Weather it's a hurtin song or or just a random u can drink to it ha... Good ol Gary, reminds me of my brother, RIP to Gary S. and my brother :)

[nevada1673]

i grew up listening to gary & keith whitley,vern gosdin etc... this is the music that takes u back! i loved it

[TheJjbegay]

what a song my dad got me into Gary they sure dont make them like they used to RIP GS 

[6969booger]

Man I miss Gary. He was friends with members of the house band at the bar where my mom worked in Okeechobee. Just showed up one time to jam with his friends. What a voice... what a songwriter. No more like him left. This is without a doubt my favorite song by him, even though it's hard to choose a favorite with all he did. Thanks for posting it.

[MrEjustus]

I saw Gary perform a lot mostly in Ft Pierce and Vero Beach Fl. at the Long Branch . I miss you Gary you where the best and still the best country singer of all time.

[jaybee6264]

i grew up listening to Gary Stewart because my late sister listened to his tapes. Now it brings me memories of her. she was a fan and now i am for over 10 years now. i miss you both.

[thekeyboardologist]

May Gary rest in peace. I spoke to him on the phone quite often, but sadly, I never met him in person. What a great loss to all of us. This is one of my favorite songs by him. Great post.

[dollyscotter12]

what would gary say today about murder on music row?? he was one of the best...rip gary..your work on earth is done..

[starr522]

Gary was just plain and simply Gary. A true Honkey Tonker from the word go. Just a true and natural singer. Had his demons as we all do. Loved one woman and one woman only. When she left this earth, Gary couldn' t cope with it. I understand. Me? After 45 years with my wife, the love of my life. I understand. Gary, you are missed my brother. Tonk away in heaven. Remember, God loves a Tonker.

[zxXStunnaXxz]

If only Gary hadn't died

[thekeyboardologist]

Gary grew up in "my town," and I was never old enough to get in where he was playing. I never met him in person, but I spoke with him on the phone quite a few times. The world lost a great voice and talent in music when Gary left us.

[southerndandy420]

thanx bud

[starr522]

In this case Gary was the Rose and the rest of the wanna bees were the Catus.

[hansonmkusa]

I just love him and eddie rabbit...gone too soon, but will live on through there music.

[bconn427]

one of FAVORITE GS songs!!!!!!!

[001tucker]

I play this song with just my guitar before my bands third set . It has such a nothingness to it . I love it .

[mypeggyb]

The difference between Gary and the so called country singers of today is; Gary was truly GREAT and didn't see himself that way and the so called of today are not so great and believe they are. We who understand true country know the difference.

[TheJetfighter666]

@mypeggyb I am so happy to see someone who understands true music.Whatever your music taste [mine being true metal] is something that comes from the heart..There is only a hand full of artists today that could convey that type of emotion that Gary and let's say Thin Lizzy did. People that listen to the radio and think that is all there is have missed out on the most heart felt music ever made. Mainstream music is and always be a joke!

[heileman28]

THIS... is country music, you commercial fags

[TheJetfighter666]

@heileman28 Today BETTER DEAD THAN MAINSTREAM. Today's kids wouldn't know real country music if it came up and bite them in the ass..

[owlman33]

Gary's buddy Dean Dillon is also a very good talent ,, and sometimes...maybe just a little you can hear a lil' similarity in the music. Of course nobody will never ever replace Gary Stewart......

[borncountryful]

I heard Gary has some Bluegrass music & I

would like to know if that's rumor, Maybe you

can come up with it if it's out there.I live in the

next co.over from his birthplace & have loved his

trembling, tears songs for years. Thanks for more. see ya bye

[basingerbitch]

OK Rooter still living the dream?

[jaybee6264]

Gary Stewart is LOVED on the NAVAJO NATION. My sister and I Loved his music.

[jjaa33]

gary stewart has gotten me thru some of the toughest times in my life and i love his music!

[thekeyboardologist]

Gary used to play here in Ft. Pierce, Florida at Frankie &Johnny's. I had a chance to Play with his brother Gerald. He is still a hometown favorite, and there are still some of us that got to meet him up close and personal. I had the chance to play piano for him, but I passed it up.

[FatDawgWayneO]

[thelonestar]

"i still love to drank my beer and i still love to fukkin honkeytonk!!!".... loved you at Dance City in New Caney Texas a few yrs ago, and love you Gary now on my computer, haha!!!!!

[marinesniper06]
