I wonder if Joe Meek was a fan of this Hayden Thompson guy. I love the florid melodies of songs like this or "Johnny Remember Me."

I remember reading an article at the height of the Urban Cowboy craze about a visit to Gilley's in Houston, that said the whole place looked like it cost $1.98, tops.

I remember Ann Magnusson going on about Swaggart's performing skill in an interview once. He was a literal bible thumper, I recall that. He would really wave it around.

Bill Bailey also does an uproarious Billy Bragg parody
Avatar 8:52pm
Becky:

I love Bill Bailey. And thought he did brilliantly on Strictly Come Dancing. Have never paid attention to that kind of show until he was on it.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:54pm
Ken From Hyde Park:

Is that the same "Won't you come home, Bill Bailey? Won't you come home?" Bill Bailey?
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:56pm

Well, that song goes back to 1902, so...
