Rick: One of Ralph Emory's books has some great stories about Hank Snow and his drinking ways. Funny as hell. I think it was in his first book.

Funny how some of those guys you might think were pretty good guys were pricks. I happened to be sitting in a bar in Dallas last Friday night by a guy and we struck up a converstation. It turns out he played bass guitar and sang back up in Ray Price's band and Faron Young's band and was in a house band in Dallas that backed up lots of Country stars. That's exactly the way he described Ray Price.

Hmmm. Seems somebody took some liberties with "I Ride an old Paint."
