Nice Steve!!! 
Back to the future, back to the beginning of the challenges with Prine. 
Good job, good choice, and yes...I like it too! 
I say, play so you like it. That makes it easier for others to like it, and at least you won one over right from the start!!!
Merry Christmas!!! Looking forward to many more in the coming year!!!

This was the number one song in 1962---It was wrote by a country music singer/song writer Don Gibson-- where it went to #7 on the country charts in 1957 it was re-recorded by Skeeter Davis a female country singer the same year where it went to #1. Tab Hunter (one of them pretty boys movie stars) recorded it in 1961 or 62 trying to horn in on "Pat Boones" success; that was when Ray Charles heard him do it and said ENOUGH IS ENOUGH---he had already recorded a few years earlier but never released it...he went back to the studio and rerecorded it. It instantly went to #1 in a matter of a couple weeks on Billboard---it also topped out on the country music charts-and the easy listening charts and rythenm and blues charts. A 4 Bagger home run.
Ray released it on his album "The modern sound of country and western music"---it was a 2 sided hit---With "I can't stop loving you" #1----and the flip side "Born to lose" making the top 10 on both the pop charts and country charts. Ray said it was "The best blues song ever written".
So here is my crappy version of it. Almost embaressed to put it on here I did what I could do with it----you take on Ray Charles you got to be a WHOLE LOT BETTER AT EVERYTHING THAN I AM.

Thanks guys but you are to kind-----I guess you missed that one word that I mispronounced. I can't stop "WOVING" you". My brother tried to drown it out but he didn't do a very good job, it is still there.

Moto put the MOJO on it . It sounds a lot better, Considering this is a song with only 3 short verses to it---some how Ray Charles found a beautiful way to make it last over 4 minutes.

Something is missing here, or did I skip a page, is Papa. MIA?
Yep. I started one, but I have had quite a few time sponging activities on my plate for the last couple of months. As a result, I haven't finished it. I'm not sure if I'll have time to get it done before month end, but I'll do my best to get it done within the next week or two.Something is missing here, or did I skip a page, is Papa. MIA?
