Thanks Guys! I'm glad you liked it. Also glad that some of you actually remember it! I had no idea that he had ever recorded it until a few months ago. I was amazed when I heard it the first time. Yes - life has always been really interesting because of my family ties to Country Music. I've got to see and meet some fascinating people along the way and your right, I'm very proud of my heritage.
Red's daughter (My Mom) was a recording artist herself (Betty Foley) and along with Red they actually recorded some early Rockabilly tunes too and they are considered pioneers in that genre as well. My mom's songs are on Youtube under "Betty Foley"
Red's 1956 Continental Mark II (made by the Ford Motor Company) for those who don't recall the car, is probably the reason I love cars so much to this day. My Dad bought it from Red's widow in 1972 and did a ground up restoration on it in our garage. It was one bad ass car when he finished it in 1975. As for my own version of the song "Rat Rod Race" LMAO!! I gotta have the rat built before I can go race it Eyesore! One of these days though... one of these days!
