the highwaymen.

My father loved the country music of the 40's and 50's,  He knew every tune, liked to whistle. When I was little, riding with him is some dirty old third hand car he would have WWVA blaring, whistling and singing with each song.  Hated it all my life.  But fifty years later, drinking in some rum shop in St. Lucia (where that music is still the most popular) I amazed my Lucian colleagues, and myself, when  I started singing along with the recording.  Remembered the words to every song played on the loud speaker.  Riding with my daddy again.  Lots of tears.  Want a good time  Go to youtube and listen to the Highwaymen, Johnny cash,  Eaylion Jennings, Willy Nelson and Kris Kristopherson -------magic.
