I love Johnny cash, but Jim reeves was and still is the best voice in country music

[dianacrow]

My daughter & I during her toddler years singing this tune w/her "My First Sony". She's 36 now...
I can't help, it's proven you tend to honor favoritism. I can't help. Your "friends" are venomous toward me. I, no longer care for the company of these deceiving gangs; they've self-proclamed rights to judge, humoring themselves with the shortcomings and health dilemmas of others. So, I'll just have to continue carrying on w/out companionship. Your "friends" are very punishing. You can have them, keep them they like themselves as they are. Judgemental & self-righteous. I'm sorry, I so longed to love you; You chose them..
Namaste 🙏 with love, always.

I fell in love with Patsy Cline when, after one-too-many nights of coming home drunk, I found that my girl had packed her things and left. The old White guy who rented the room next to us, was playing Patsy's greatest hits, and I sat there in my empty room, and absorbed every note and lyric. I'm not a country music fan, but I can recognize genius when I hear it...

[phillipgarrow]
