I remember going to the Palomino in the mid-late 80's. But the time this Variations album came out in 1978, you guys may have been hanging out there some years earlier. I have a question, Jeff. Are Alan Ray and Even Stevens still around ? Great song, and thanks for commenting !

I always found time for an Eddy Rabbit song during a 4 or 5 hour on air shift.Most the time a listener would request 1 from him or I find 1. He wrote "Old Kentucky rain" for Elvis Presley and wrote other songs as well. The fact that he was from New Jersey and his father came from Ireland was unique in American country music of the time.Eddy and his producers moved country music into a wider cross over audience that also included many traditionalist who understood that like bringing electric guitars and drums into country,so to the Eddy Rabbits,John Denver and Kenny Rogers of the industry had to come on in. Country having a BIG tent during this time kept it alive.
