Don Williams - Tulsa time (+lyrics)

[@jeannestandley-kinata824]

Listening to this is like stepping into a Time Machine and stepping out into my family's kitchen and seeing my Mama dance and sing. She's got her tall glass of cold buttermilk and her iced tea spoon. Putting her homemade corn bread into the glass and eating the spoonfuls of sweet cornbread while she sings " Living on Tulsa Time". Daddy is cutting up slabs of corn meal mush from a 9x13 pan. Frying up the Hush puppies in pure sweet butter til they are crispy on the edges and creamy in the center. And all of us children are sitting at the table begging for " More please". Mama's Delicious beans are cooking on the stove and she's ladeling them up. Bowls of Love with freshly made cornbread on the side. I just wanna live on Tulsa Time forever when I hear this song. I am sending love and hugs from Washington State, USA, Jeanne of In Loving Hands Counseling and ASMR

Don Williams is my favorite singer of all time and I'm only 9 it's to bad he's gone. I wish his music was played more often. This is actual country.

Donald Ray Williams (May 27, 1939 - September 8, 2017) was an American country singer, songwriter, and 2010 inductee to the Country Music Hall of Fame. He began his solo career in 1971, singing popular ballads and amassing 17 number one country hits. His straightforward yet smooth bass-baritone voice, soft tones, and imposing build earned him the nickname: "Gentle Giant" of country music.[1]His parents were Loveta Mae (née Lambert; 1914 - 2007) and James Andrew "Jim" Williams (1898 - 1982).[2] He grew up in Portland, Texas and graduated from Gregory-Portland High School in 1958. After Williams' parents divorced, Loveta Williams remarried first to Chester Lang, and then to Robert Bevers.[3] On July 20, 1963, Williams' eldest brother Kenneth died after being was accidentally electrocuted after touching a live wire. He was 29 years old.[4]At the height of the country and western boom in the UK in 1976, he had top forty pop chart hits with "You're My Best Friend" and "I Recall a Gypsy Woman".[10] His first single with ABC/Dot, "I Wouldn't Want to Live If You Didn't Love Me," became a number one hit, and was the first of a string of top ten hits he had between 1974 and 1991. Only four of his 46 singles didn't make it to the Top Ten.[11] "I Believe in You", written by Roger Cook and Sam Hogin, was Williams' eleventh #1 on the country chart.[12] It was his only Top 40 chart entry in the U.S., where it peaked at #24. It was also hit in Australia, New Zealand and Europe.[13] Williams had some minor roles in Burt Reynolds movies. In 1975, Don appeared as a member of the Dixie Dancekings band in the movie W.W. and the Dixie Dancekings alongside Reynolds. Don also appeared as himself in the Universal Pictures movie, Smokey and the Bandit II, in which he also played a number of songs.[14] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Williams

[@MIKECNW]

Anyone here remember Sound Stage on PBS? Don was on an episode and when he played this song Danny Flowers, his electric guitarist really turned up the volume on that performance of Tulsa Time making it sound a bit like a rock song even though Don is strictly country.

no but I'm gonna check it out

No wonder Eric Clapton picked up on it later.
