Diego!! Great to see you here.

I was sad when I heard Mel passed. He was one of my mom's faves back in the day, along with Chet, Charley Pride, Eddy Arnold, and Mario Lanza. :-(
  8:10pm Diego Britt:

I count on you for the 'deep' tracks...

Columbia production was so good in this period, too.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:17pm Richard S:

Any possibility of a live recording coming up? I'm told that Tillis was amazing in person.

All winners so far (how could they not be?), I especially loved "I Ain't Never"
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:32pm Richard S:

Thanks, Becky! No problem if you can't find one..... (we have YouTube)
  8:36pm Diego Britt:

I'm going to go on record saying I didn't remember that Mel wrote 'Strange'... Makes sense though.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 8:38pm ultradamno:

I didn't either. Beautiful, of course.

Great show, Becky! I have a stutter but it doesn't effect my singing either. Too bad I don't have a good voice...

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:58pm Richard S:

Last time I did that, ATF, I left the table with twice as much as I had when I sat down. Should I apologize?
  9:00pm Diego Britt:
