I can't figure out the title or what recording it might be on. Some of the lyrics are "long lonely time, with no peace of mind" and "waiting for things to get better". He said that Chet Atkins played it, so it might be one of his songs. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. Loved that song. |

Believe the title was Waitng for the Times to Get Better. I've got to tell you I've been rackin' my brain Tryin to find peace of mind I've had enough of this continual rain (don't remember this line) CHO: It's been a long long time, with no peace of mind And I'm waiting for the times to get better |

Doc said he's playing in Johnson City, TN tomorrow night. We're set to play with him Jan. 25, 7:00 at Guiford College in Grensboro, NC. -Richie |

31 Dec 02 - 03:39 PM (#856173) Subject: RE: Origins: Doc Watson song From: GUEST Song written by Steve Wariner...how unfortunate he got lumped in with all those 80's 'pop-country' artists like the Mandrells(any of them), Kenny Rogers, Ronnie Milsap, Lee Greenwood(gag),etc. The only things good to come out of country mainstream in the 80's were Vern Gosdin and Gene Watson. Sylvia?...Puh-leese-uh! Ok, maybe George Strait was ok, but the rest. Ugh! Steve Wariner has much respect as a writer and a player in Nash. The Gatlin's?...zero. |
