This response is to PaulinaRena. My group (Country Tradition) of 21 years that I retired in 2004 always wore matching uniforms for every show. I got so used to seeing this growing up with country music and thought it was so professional that I wouldn't have it any other way. We played nothing ...

I could never get enough of listening to the master of steel guitar, John Hughey. There's never been one better and most probably never will. John had such a natural talent for the instrument that no matter what he played it was always so "natural" coming out of his steel. Not only the smoothes...

Great song but just not the same without John Hughey on the steel. He was absolutely the very best steel player to ever live.

Y'all sound so much better with the fiddle added. You're good even without it but much better (great) with it. This song is about my old stomping grounds (Lower Alabama) where my group (Country Tradition) traveled for over 20 years, touring Florida and southeast Alabama. I retired the group in...

The greatest artist I've ever known in any genre; especially classic country music. I hope and pray that some of the upcoming classic country artists will be able to continue this wonderful, fulfilling music. God bless you, Ray, and may you continue to bring us this wonderful music for a long t...

Never was and never will be another Southern Gospel quartet to even match this group; much less surpass it. I followed the Cathedrals from the 1970's to their retirement in 1999. They went through a lot of singers during that time, but this group right here was the very best of them all.

In 1965 I went into the new Admiral Semmes Motor Hotel restaurant in Mobile, Alabama for lunch. Seated in a large circular booth were all the Goodmans. I went over and introduced myself and they told me they were going to be in concert at Vigor High School that night and they invited me to go w...

The voices of Vestal Goodman and Johnny Cook are so close that it's hard to tell them apart. I remember when Vestal had to be absent from the Goodmans due to illness and Johnny filled in for her. He did every song exactly like she did and the result was incredible.

What a beautiful voice, Ronnie. I saw your posting on George Jones' posting of "Mama's Family Bible" where you said your were no longer a believer in such things even though you were raised differently. Can you imagine how many lost souls you might could touch if you used your singing talent to...

How could you NOT believe in a HIGHER POWER, namely GOD THE FATHER? All you have to do is look around you at our beautiful world with the blue skies, the birds singing, the animals playing, the enormous trees that look like they almost touch the sky and so much more that could only be a product ...

This particular group wasn't together too long. Lorne Matthews, piano, Roy Tremble and George Amon Webster left the group abruptly to form their own group "The Brothers"; leaving George and Glen by themselves until they could replace them. They were replaced by Roger Bennett on piano, Kirk Tal...

Rest in peace, my dear friend. One of the greatest days of my life was when I first met you and Glen. We quickly became friends and it was always so good to hear from you. I know my days are few my friend, and I know you and Glen will be waiting there for me when I come home. There will be ma...

Between Tammy and Loretta there will never be another pair like them. It just don't get no better.

For those of you who don't know, Conway's real name was Harold Jenkins from Conway, Arkansas. He and John Hughey, his pedal steel player and the very best steel player of all times, were classmates and were together in the first band that Conway ever formed. After Conway got out of service, h...

I an honored to say that John Hughey, Conway's pedal steel player,the greatest steel man ever, was a personal friend for many years. Not only was he a great steel player, he was one of the finest men I've known and one of the best friends I ever had. His passing hit me hard but I still have so...

I was a country music performer for over 50 years before retiring my group (Country Tradition) in 2004. Don Rich was one of the most talented musicians I've ever known. His talent was inborn. The whole Rich family was musically gifted. And yes, that was him playing Orange Blossom Special; and...

Red Johnson played fiddle in my group (Country Tradition) from the late 90's until 2004 when I retired the group. He was playing with Southern Star at the same time and never missed a show. Amazing man. Love him dearly.

If the driver had been driving anything else he would not have survived. Saturns were built around a safety cage. I've been driving them since 1987. Bought my fifth one in 2003 (new). It just rolled over 100K miles and still runs and looks great. I feel so safe driving it. It's a crying sham...

I sang this song to my wife at our wedding. It will always be very special to both of us.

I'm honored to say that Austin was pedal steel player in my band (Country Tradition) then later took over the lead guitar position. I honestly don't know which he's better at. What a talent.
