Thanks for posting this one. It has been a long time since I heard it. Somewhere around here I have it, probably on an LP that I haven't moved to digital yet.

I do remember all those, which makes me an old man.

Back in the early seventies, when bands that played fairs still used local orchestras to do their traveling gigs, these guys came to the Minnesota State Fair, where I played them. As often happened with many of the country acts back then, none of the guys read music. Number charts (numbers for the chord changes) were the norm for country bands, and many of the acts were prone to save money by not paying someone to write charts for them. The Statlers had no charts, so the whole rehearsal and performance consisted of the guy in the middle back of the photo (the one with the broadest shoulders, thickest hair and thickest mustache) holding the mic with his left hand, and signaling the number of the upcoming chord changes to the members of the rhythm section with his right hand behind his back!

Brings back memories. Too bad they won't be in Branson when we go in September - but maybe there will be a new quartet to entertain.
