Hey - haven't heard that for years. Interestingly, it's from the same era as late Delmore Brothers but sounds much smoother.

Having once heard it, who could forget it, try as you might! That was one of the most cornball songs I had ever heard. "All those golden guitars lining the walls." Sounds like Hillbilly Hell.

Pretty much slag, but it was one of my dad's favorites and so it is a special to me but not because of the music LOL

Chuckling OD! I think my Dad liked it too. He saw the "corn" in it but it was a tribute of sorts. Let's see, I think Tex woke up just after Red Sovine and it was his own name next, right?

Remember the one about "...let's think aobut livnin'...Let's think about life!"?

I remeber one line that said"...We lost old Marty Robbins, down in El Paso, a little while back..."

Wish I could remember the rest but it too, was a tribute song.

Wasn't that Bob Luman? "Let's Think About Love" - can't recall it exactly, but it was a great record. :-)

"Let's forget about the whining and dying, the lying and the crying and the guy with the switchblade knife...Let's think about living...Let's think about Life!"

Anyone done a search on that yet?

Let's Think About Living ~ Bob Luman

In every other song that I've heard lately
Some fellow gets shot
And his baby and his best friend both die with him
As likely as not
In half of the other songs
Some Cat's crying or ready to die
We've lost most of our happy people
And I'm wondering why

Let's think about living
Let's think about loving
Let's think about the whoopin'
and hoppin and boppin'
and the lovie, lovie dovin'
Let's forget about the whinin' and the cryin'
And the shooting and the dying
And the fellow with a switchblade knife
Let's think about living
Let's think about life

We lost old Marty Robbins
Down in old El Paso a little while back
And now Miss Patti Page or one of them
Is a-wearing black
And Cath's Clown has Don and Phil
Where they feel like a-they could die
If we keep on a-losin' our singers like that
I'll be the only one you can buy'

Let's think about living
Let's think about loving
Let's think about the whoopin'
and hoppin and boppin'
and the lovie, lovie dovin'
Let's forget about the whinin' and the cryin'
And the shooting and the dying
And the fellow with a switchblade knife
Let's think about living
Let's think about life

Well that was pretty damn quick PDQ. I hope you stuck it in the search pot. I know I will revist it. The tune's simple and catchy and it's fun to sing.
