Not Airplanes but Music

In the past I've seen some posts that got off thread and went into mis-quotes, fun jabs, etc.. regarding music lyrics. I am trying to locate the lyrics to an old C/W song. "Broken down in tiny pieces" by Billy Cradock or maybe Craddock, Cradick. Wish I could be more specific but that's the best I can do.

Would one of you kind souls point me in the right direction?

Ratchere, John.

Thar's two kans of music; thar's Country, an' Western . . .

Loved that line from the Blues Brothers.

'We play both kinds of music, Country and Western.'

At Bob's Country Bunker.

My son thought it was a hoot lately, I forget what exactly was going on but there was an interview on the tv and the guy at the coutnry bar was talking in front of the stage, that was wrapped in chicken wire. He thought that they just did that for the movie!

Oh, and if you ever want a lyric, go to www.yahoo.com and type lyrics band name song name or phrase from the song in the search bar. If you just have 1 of the 3, you can usually get close, but 2 of the 3 will do it all.

Kelvin, William,

Thanks a bunch. I knew it was Bill "Crash" Craddock but I figured if I put in the "Crash" with the "Broken down in tiny pieces" on this forum that would be a real opportunity for the non-musical members to have a lot of fun.

I've seen some really funny made up song titles for country songs. There are enough funny ones out there that are real to make up a pretty good sized book.

Thanks again

John:
Was Billy "Crash" Craddock the guy who was the one hit wonder with "Achey Breakey Heart"? If so I think he is now singing in low class bars around OKC.
In the meantime, check out my latest tunes "If you want to keep your beer real cold, put it next to my ex-wife's heart" and "She don't look so bad through the bottom of a glass"

Just heard Merle do "I never go around mirrors cause I can't stand to see a grown man cry"

That was Billy Ray Cyrus (sp on last name)

Jim, Marvin,

I knew this could get crazy! "Your tears have washed I love you from the blackboard of my heart" (true title) "Your welfare check is gone and so am I" "Come home love, Nobody does chicken fried steak like you do"

Marvin, Cyrus is correct spelling.

Jim, pay attention. Merle is one of my favorites. Please burn a CD of this hit as I don't have it in my collection.

How 'bout the OOld classics: "Thank God and Greyhound you're gone!", "Walking the floor over you", by Ernest Tubb, the spoof "I got tears in my ears from lying on my back crying over you"; Probly Homer and Jethro, "Kawliga" by the real Hank Williams, and "I didn't know the gun was loaded", Not to forget "What it was, was Football, by Deacon Andy Griffith, Later known as Matlock, or the sheriff in Mayberry, R.F.D. Now that's reaching back a ways....

I've always liked "How Did You Get So Ugly Overnight?"

I still have the photograph of Cowboy Copas, Ernest Tubb, Red Foley, Robert Jones, and Hank Williams, all standing behind the counter in my Mom and Dad's record store, c. 1951. And my brother has the 16mm home movies of Hank Snow. I grew up on hillbilly and rockabilly.

Later, John

John:
Unfortunately, I heard this on the radio(KKng 93.3 classic country)so there's no telling when or if it will be on again. Also, no way to burn CD'd on this obsolete computer-may upgrade someday but can't seem to stomach the cost as long as this one is more or less working.

In the meantime try for "If your phone don't ring, it's me" and "How come your dog don't bark anymore when I come around" and "Hamburger steaks, Holiday Inns and a different woman every night" All artists unknown.

Jim,
I have these:

How come your dog don't bite anyone but me - was done by Webb Pierce on Decca 31445 - however the title may be different than the one you are thinking of

Hamburger Steak Holiday Inns & a different woman every night was Hank Williams Jr on MGM 14421

I don't have the other one

You're right, J. It could get crazy.

Chorus:

"I've been washed down the sink of your conscience.
In the theater of your love, I've lost my part.
Now, you say you've got me out of your conscience.
I've been flushed from the bathroom of your heart."

That old CL Flyer dressed in Black, Johnny Cash.
From the "Live at Folsome Prison" album

John,
I know where you can get a copy on record of this by: Lefty Frizzell, J D Crowe or Ronnie Sessions but not by Merle

John, Best one out currently, by Vince Gill and Rodney Crowell,
" It's hard to kiss the lips at night that chewed your ##### out all day long." Sure glad Rambo Rilene don't do me that way!!! DRM

Tex Ritter? That's when I woke up.

In 1950/51 my futurre wife and my schoolteacher aunt were on a school trip from Pampa, Tx to Odessa, Tx. The bus stopped on the road near Plainview and picked up a passenger who was carrying a guitar case. The new passenger was Jimmy Dean before he became famous with a national syndicated country/western TV program and as the sausage king of the Texas panhandle. They said he serenaded the bus passengers and driver for about 2 hours with such greats as "I have tears in my ears from crying on my pillow over you", "Get off the stove Grandma, you're too old to ride the range!" and other such songs(?). I doubt that he ever had these and several other published!!!

Country/western music just isn't what it used to be.

That's amazing! I TOO had a young country artist ride on a buss trip from Wichita to Topeka, Ks once a long time ago. After about 45 minutes of his playing and singing to the largely metal clintel, we beat him to death with his own shoe.

Just kiddin.

It was a boot.

Never met anyone famous
Never et anyone famous
Still I'm longin you

Jimmy Dean had a live morning show in the Washington DC area in the mid to late 50s. He may have lived in Alexandria, Va, my hometown, during this period. He was sort of a local celebrity, and there would be occasional Dean Sightings.

I grew up listening to my parents country music. Patsy Cline, Jim Reeves, Hank Williams, etc.

Probably why I listen to Progressive Rock and Alternative now. Anything but C&W.

I've been invited to play some slide with a local (electric) blues band soon - scary for a 'bedroom hero' acoustic player.

I think I'll have to do It Hurts Me Too - I can remember going into a local record shop in 1970 and asking for a copy of To Know A Man - Elmore James - when they asked my name for the order and I said Tony Elmore - they said "Like Yeah!".

I'm listening to the king of slide guitar as I write!

My tastes run the whole gamut of American music here are jsut a few of my faves:

Electric Blues:
Elmore James
Muddy Waters
Robert Nighthawk
Lightnin Slim
Big Walter (Shakey) Horton
Sonny Boy Williamson (both)
etc etc etc

Acoustic Blues:
Blind Willie McTell
Robert Johnson
almost everybody else

Cajun:
Balfa Bros
Nathan Abshire

Oldtime:
Bascom Lamar Lunsford
Roscoe Holcomb
Charlie Poole
Gid Tanner
Uncle Dave Macon
......

Gospel:
Arizona Dranes
Blind Willie Johnson
Washington Phillips

Bluegrass:
Stanley Brothers

Country:
Carter Family
Jimmie Rodgers
Hank Williams Snr
Maddox Bros and Rose
Molly O'Day
Roy Acuff
lots of others - but mainly early stuff - and I do dislike pedal steel!

Others:
Frank Crumit

I play acoustic blues (on guitar and mandolin) and am dabbling with
electric guitar, I play oldtime on banjo, guitar and dulcimer.

I once composed about 100 lyrics to the tune of "Red River Valley". All about model planes. I sent them to John Delagrange of SAM 100. I have heard that some of these have been performed at the SAM Champs and elsewhere. I have lost the original floppy-disc, but maybe that is a good thing!

I am a classically-trained violinist and music composition major at USC, so don't tell anyone that I actually did this!

Tony,

Mine runs more to:

Jeff Healy Band
Robert johnson
Robin Trower
Leo Kottke
Tool
Humm
Year of the Rabit
George Thorogood (closest I get to C&W)
Gravity Suks
The Police (the old stuff)
Yes
Allman Brothers
John Cafferty
Don Henley
Blood, Sweat amd Tears
Bob Seger
Crusaders (with Larry Carlton)
Stevie Vai
Very Early Chicago (in the Terry Kath days)
Doobie Brothers (before the Foghorn)
CCR (when I'm in the mood)
CSN
Santana
Starting to like my son's band a lot: Fever

About 500 others.

Earnest Tubb record shop;Nashville Tn. can get the record for you.
Billy also had a song called Rub It In and I believe another tittled Easy as pie ; Good song.

Jeff Rein has recorded his "Ballad of the Folken A" on CD. Sung to the tune of "Hot Rod Lincoln."

For those with quite good memories, lyrics were published years ago in a Model Builder magazine CL column.

I understand recording is actually something more than just okay, remains as funny as ever, although probably not as outrageous as seeing Jeff perform his song to Saturday Breakfast Crowd at a past Bladder Grabber.

I heard a Bluegrass tune the other day called; "The Only Good Years We Ever had Was the Tires on Our Car"
