I recall paying a busker $2 to play this song back in the early 80's and it drew me back to the woman that would become my first wife. The worst 2 bucks I ever spent.

We all make mistakes. Those who learn from them don't repeat the mistake.

I didn't make the same mistake twice, found an amazing and level headed partner for the rest of my life.
The ex I spent 11 years of ongoing trauma with but the love of my life has been beside me every step of the way, through thick and thin for almost 25 years now and I hope that she outlives me because I won't last long if she goes first, why would I want to continue without her?

@SnowyOwl you are a fortunate man.

@SnowyOwl I hope that she has given you permission to die first but IMO it is a bit selfish of you not to give her permission to die first. Some women find the loneliness of a solitary life intolerable.
Apparently my sil talked to my brother's ashes for at least ten years after he was killed. IMO that's big time dependency & lack of freedom.

@FrayedBear We are both doing what we can to stay alive and healthy, chance plays a roll in all lives so only time will tell.

@SnowyOwl Aren't we all and probably will never know if C19, hit & run motorist, stroke or pissed off psychotic killed each other when the replies & messages stop coming.

@FrayedBear Only the religious live forever and only in their insane dreams. 😉

YIKES! I guess I am my Dad's daughter, he could stand this music. My mom wasn't much into music but Dad listened to classical, opera AND WMMR out of Philly. They play rock and roll. He loved the Beatles.
I found Jazz when I moved to the west coast. CW is not on my playlist.
Sorry about the ex issues.

One of my all time favorites and nobody else could do it that way. Hank would often sing these songs live on a program and do just as good as he did them on a record. A lot of people won't take that chance.

Hank Williams was one of my mom's favorite singer. I kinda grew up hearing his songs. 🙂

I grew up the same way, Hank Williams was always on the HiFi when I was a kid.

Well it wasn't poor old Hank's fault. This wasn't written by him, but by a guy in the 40s who sold it for a few bucks for drinking money to a other guy, who recorded it and it didn't go anywhere. Then Hank liked it, changed it, recorded it his way, despite his producer Fred Rose loathing it, and bingo, it sold like hot cakes and next thing you know ole Hank is on the Grand Ole Oprey as the Lovesick Blues guy. It made his career. Sorry it wasn't good luck for you.

3 great kids out of the deal but it has been a long hard road dealing with their mother.
