Country Music Week
The Professor Of Rock 'n' Roll, aka the Mighty Manfred Jones prefers the Bill Anderson version.
Country Music Week
Leona Williams - I Wonder Where I'll Find You Tonight
Thanks, again, Andy Turner!
The First Mrs. Jones
Porter Wagoner's The First Mrs. Jones is a perfect example of why he established a reputation for an artist who didn't shy away from intense topics. The song, written by Bill Anderson, is the story of a marriage gone bad and the resulting mayhem.
Louis Marshall Jones, Age 53
An Opry star for twenty years, at this point he's still three years
away from his Hee Haw debut.
In his secret identity, I think he kinda looks a bit like Redneck GReece.
What do you think?
Young Grandpa Jones and His Colleagues
Like Captain Kangaroo and Walter Brennan, Grandpa was already playing an old man when he was still in his twenties, and eventually grew into the part. This songbook is from 1942, 27 years before he'd first step before the Hee Haw cameras.
Offhand, I don't recognize any of these folks except for Lew Childre, eventual Grand Ole Opry star and father of the noted fishing tackle magnate who shared his name.
