thebuns1 4,323 Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 I like these ones. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mR3nda4SxO0 Sad that we lost another legend, a veteran and an icon in music history. Music like this will slowly fade. Modern country isnt what it should be. Too much pop shit. This is sad. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

devildogdakota 804 Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 I have to admit, I got a little teary eyed listening to whos gonna fill their shoes Yea, been teary eyed since yesterday, especially since puttin' that video up. Watched it a few times since yesterday and been singing it out loud all day today and yesterday! Was a real heart breaker when Waylon and Johnny Cash went. Merle is one of the last ones standing!

elvis christ 451 Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 By chance, i got dispatched to nashville to work on monday morning. I'm sitting in a hotel room waiting for tomorrow, gonna go see what's going on this weekend. It'll be nice to see the hacks in the bar all playing some Jones. I wonder if he'll experience a hipster revival like Cash did when he died. Sorry, feeling really cynical tonight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
