Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes? by linnypinny

Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes?

I love all kinds of music today, but no one can replace the singers from my childhood, who bring with them such sweet memories of my Dad.

"Who's gonna give their heart and soul to get to me and you? Lord, I wonder - Who's gonna fill their shoes?" - George Jones

What a great old record-player. Like Cindy, I read the names and immediately others came to mind as well. I remember going to see Ray Price just a few years ago. He was quite frail and kind of tottered out on the stage, but when he opened his mouth and gently crooned, "Take the ribbons from your hair...shake it loose and let it fall..." the years fell away and I knew we would make it through the night. I'm enjoying your shots of the traveling memory show.

Super creation. Fav.

These certainly are the greats! Your choice of black and white with the names in red is so fitting. We knew country music, but grew up with 1960's rock and roll. I didn't like the turn of music in the 70-90's (punk, rap, hiphop), but I am liking it again now. I think there is a lot of current potential in the making. I am unusual as I am almost 60 and listening to what's new.

@cejaanderson I'm the same way, Jane. I love the new popular music too. I seldom listen to older music, but when I do, it really takes me back. Thanks for stopping by.
