Country Music of the 40s, 50s and Early 60s

How old were you when you first heard this one, Ed?



Punch the Teresa Brewer selection - I put a nickel in for you...

I could have been eight. Not sure.

North Wind Slim Whitman

Slim was unique.

I'll ask you to forgive me in advance. I know you'll enjoy this:

Andy had me laughing as soon as I saw him.

lol It's a Slim Whitman cover if you ask me. Pretty good at it, too: shouldn't quit his day job, though.

A Buck Owens classic-

Best listened to after three Lone Stars...

Lone Star is now owned by a Russian company. I buy other brands anymore.

Slide a Shiner over this way, then. I'm three stools on your right, Ed.

Sadly, lovers of cheap beer with a questionable taste can’t even switch to Old Style — Old Style is one of many beer brands Pabst owned.
Same with Schlitz, Colt 45, Texas’ Lone Star and a number of other beer brands. According to a press release published by Business Weekly, Pabst Brewing Company’s entire portfolio of beer brands was part of the deal.
“Pabst Blue Ribbon is the quintessential American brand – it represents individualism, egalitarianism, and freedom of expression – all the things that make this country great,” Chairman of Oasis Beverages Eugene Kashper stated in the press release. “The opportunity to work with the company’s treasure trove of iconic brands, some of which I started my career selling, is a dream come true. It will be an honor to work with Pabst’s dedicated employees and partner distributors as we continue to build the business.”
Kashper, a graduate of Columbia University, will act as CEO for Pabst Brewing Company. Headquarters will remain in Los Angeles, California and, for the most part, it seems like the company will see few changes in the immediate future.


So, slide on over and I'll buy you whatever you like.

Who can express the joy of renconciliation
better than Buck:



This one's played with a round on the house.

That could be Buck's most successful song. I couldn't begin to count how many artists recorded it.
