My Gawd... what a song....
the best story song ever written...
I'd say....
And, the best performed....
I got to see NBJK 3 times, Pete once, Sinatra twice....
But, in a small high school auditorium...
A year or so before he died...
I saw Marty Robbins....
He played that little Martin parlor guitar....
His band did all of the work...
He mostly cut up and had fun....
He, like Glen Campbell.. sang his hits in way where he .... (the word is not coming to me) parodied himself.. is that the word? because he had sung the darn song 8 million times...Shane never did this with S&S...
It was God's present to him...
I sure hope that no one tries to sing it at the memorial...
No one can..
