My dad used to know him real good cause he's from over here in Lebanon Ohio and were from Franklin right down the road a ways, I've talked to him a couple times myself, he's very very nice and humble.

Doyle is a master no doubt! I love his music! But Mano a Mano Larry can stand alone. He is the whole package by himself. Doyle is a master at running a tight band.

This song was written beautifully with purpose by Lawrence Allen Hammond. I don't like how it's being made fun of in attempts to lessen its value by modern thinking. Years ago it was a song people cried listening to. Now!!! Brilliant lyrics 💙

Billy Strings is doing this with a fan blowing his hair around and fake smoke in the background. I like Billy but his version doesn't take me to the same place Larry's version does. When I hear Larry sing this, I feel like the naïve country boy going to the city and getting his heart broken.
