Thank you...where are you from? Here is what I wrote in the description...This band Max Badger was working in the early 1980s in a club circuit in Southern California playing cover tunes in nightclubs and working on these original tunes while signed to a "management" deal, but no record contract. Things fizzled out about 1983-84 when nothing was happening with the original music. We changed focus from a club band to the goal of a record deal and it did not materialize. Jim Potkey wrote this song for his wife, and we loved really getting that emotional performance. Jim passed away in 2010 and this song was used in the TV shows others have mentioned about 6 years after he passed. Jim had recorded the versions on the TV shows with other guys, but seemed to stay with the feel we originally gave the song. We had no idea it was used in the TV shows until I posted this live performance from our soundman's cassette "work tapes". It is fascinating/really cool to see people searching for the song and finding it here! To my knowledge, there is no commercially available version of this song. Jim probably submitted this and other songs to a "music warehouse" where producers and music directors look for music for the scenes in their shows. We are grateful our soundman kept the tapes in good condition. I had forgotten many of the songs I have posted. We got together and listened to them in January 2019, I had them digitized so I could make these videos with the only photos we have from almost 40 years ago. Fun stuff!

Thank you...I remember your '56 that was fun to watch.

Thanks...just an ol' grocery getter with some grunt.

Right back athcya...rock it up!

I appreciate your comment! It is such a fun surprise to hear how the song has affected so many of them, and you, to find it here!

Thank you for the comment!

Thank you!

Thank you!

hmmmm...have you searched for one? Here's a start... www.hemmings.com/classifieds/dealer/ford/country-sedan/2593189.html

Thank you...fun tune to play...fun memory!

Thanks. Only you can answer that question. I have have mine for about 16 years, no plans to sell yet. You don't see these too much, so it's fun to have people ask questions. Many have no idea what it is.

@@robhaerr Thanks. How was your restoration process? too much trouble. Too expensive. Maybe somethings you should have done differently? Thank you...

Fran, I do have seat belts. The correct weatherstripping around the door is hard to find. Maybe someday. I don't drive it in the rain. Thanks.

We continue to be amazed that you all are actively searching for this song. Thank you for the kind words!

Wow. Thank you for the comment, Nick!

Thank you for letting me know!

Thanks for the nod! What brought you to find this?

Thank you, I will tell the guys! Too bad writer Jim Potkey didn't live to see the appreciation. He passed away after 6-7 years before it was on Red Oaks and The Boy Downstairs. Where did you hear this and how did you find it here?

@@robhaerr Red Oaks! It wasn't easy to find! LOL

@@robhaerr R.I.P. Jim, you're an underground Legend! Sorry about your friend

Thank you, Apryl! I would love to find a good copy of the Kingdom album...great stuff!

@@robhaerr I'd be more than happy to find one and have it sent to you. Unfortunately it doesn't look like there's messaging options on here for details, but let me know if there's somewhere I can send it that you're comfortable sharing. Completely understand if there isn't.

@@deerling If you know of a copy of the Kingdom album, I would love to have it in my collection! You can contact me at [email protected] Thank you!

Hmmm, wonder why? Less than a minute. Lots more on my channel of the bands I have been in and other sillyness. Cheers!

Thanks, JoAnn...fun times those were!

Thank you, Paul...exactly what we were going for almost 40 years ago. The tape scratchiness is a bonus!

@@robhaerr hauntingly good! I reached out to one of the Red Oaks’ music supervisors (Gabe Hilfer) on Instagram to ask how he came across it, no response so far.

@@kiiinnndddaaa Thanks Paul...I am curious, especially since Jim passed away in 2010.

Cheers mates! Tito's, soda water with a twist of lime.

Awesome...we are going for humorous, but got "hilarious"...we like it!

@@debi4nightfall11 Cheers!

We are blown away by the attention this is getting. What brought you to this video? How did you search for it? Thank you!

@@robhaerr As many already mentioned, it was Red Oaks. Your comments and stories below about Jim, the band and the recordings being kept for so long are so moving. It shows us how great music and voices can echo through time and do indeed live forever. It is inspiring, uplifting and nostalgic in a way I do not understand but cannot help but feel. So, thank you, again.

@@amithazan007 Thank you!

Enjoy!

Thanks...good times!

Ha! I didn't think anyone would see this. Didn't know you subscribed...thank you! (A little fun work project)

Thank you...fun night!

I am continually amazed that people are actively searching for this song. Thank you. Guess it was about 38 years before it's time.

Red Oaks too BABY!!!

Thank you, Kyle! Fun to see these comments almost 40 years later.

Thank you, Leslie. Yes, I was the drummer on this live performance.

@@robhaerr Thank you for explaining the back story to me. I find this really interesting. Has this story ever been told besides here?

Leslie Frank Nope. Here and among friends.

@@robhaerr Hi again, Rob. I have been thinking about this song and the story and was wondering if you'd be interested in speaking to me about it. I'm an artist and I have an idea about this story. Is there a way I can reach you? Thank you!

@@mistywatercolormemories Hi Leslie...send me your phone number on my email address, [email protected] Look forward to talking with you. Let me know what time zone so I don't call at a weird hour!

I will pass this to bass player Tom...thank you! Enjoying your vinyl videos! What brought you to this video?

Thanks! Songwriters submit their work to a "warehouse" of music where producers/writers/directors/music directors look for music for scenes. Unfortunately, writer Jim passed away 6-7 years before this was used.
