I'm 45 and never found my soul mate. I was raised this way by my grandpa. I feel like I missed out on life no kids no wife no bond . No forever 😢😢😢😢😢😢

I'm an auto mechanic. Hooked a good woman and started a family. Still together. There's been temptation but I'm from the old school. Thankyou sir

We had the privilege of seeing John Conlee at the Grand Ole Opry twice. He's one of the last of the real country singers. God bless him.

We need more youngsters who like the old school. Have a blessed life.

This is why I love old school country , real stories told by real people , no fakeness

I truly believe John never got the recognition he deserved. There is no better singer/singer writer & should have got SO much more recognition than what he has received. God bless all of us from the old school 🏫

[@taribridges9623]

He does not write any songs -'mostly he sings the songs written by one of the masters of songwriters named Harlan Howard and/or Hank Cochran

[@rogerbowen4246]

John Conley & John Anderson are 100% real country stars

[@justinstearns9723]

Roger Bowen Damn right. They both have unique voices and they’re also both very humble, down to earth great guys.

[@georgedonaldson2620]

And one of the best

[@dylanbrockguitar]

I really believe this is one of the greatest country songs ever written. I also believe he is right about returning to values. He's telling it like it is!

[@daleharapat4440]

His voice is just outstanding. Just as strong and memorable as ever. Shame country does not let these legends on the radio anymore.

I love John Conlee's music. He used to be a DJ turned country singer and boy did he make his mark.

[@user-zu5vf9ix5v]

He was also an imbamer in louisville ky

[@ryankater5114]

This is real country music. John Conlee is one of my favourite real country stars because his music tells stories, and takes me to a place in time where I was not fortunate enough to grow up. Fun fact that I just learnt, me and John have the same birthday except hes 57 years older than me. He's 76 and I'm 19.

[@timhelka-cj3wh]

John Conley is the best country singer ever gotta like rose colored glasses. I grew up listing to him. Thankyou

He's absolutely right about needing to go back to values but these values must also include our environment, local businesses and actually doing a real days work. John has such a natural voice great singer

Most people do a real days work and don't get paid what they are worth.

@@jaysmith2414 no they don't I used to do concrete work back in the early 90s and a crew of 3 of us could do 2 house foundations per day and we wheeled the concrete in wheelbarrows . That same company now has 6 people and they use all automated equipment and do 1 house foundation per week .

Heard him does this at Billy Bob's in the early 1990's. Still sounds amazing! He was one of the best entertainers to see in person. At Billy Bob's he walked around to all our tables as he sang. I wish things were like the olden days still.

[@randymiller3949]

In my humble opinion...John Conlee is 1 of my 5 favorite all-time country music singers. 1.John Conlee 2.Ronnie Milsap 3.Gene Watson 4.Don Williams 5.Gary Stewart I 49 yrs old now...I can remember back in the 70s & 80s on country music stations...you couldn't turn on the radio without 1 of these 4 Legends being on a country station...

Man... how quickly we lose sight, of "The Old School"

[@janettrim7587]

For some of us, it is in our DNA; we can't loose it. We just earn the labels that assign us to the "old" and that's very right for me. My grandkids will never get to be of the "old" school no matter how old they get. It is something that happens miraculously and never given but earned; much like inevitability, dna, schooled in the hard knocks of life. The little red school house where I spent my first three years formed me as an adult. They just aren't the same environment these days as they were when I was in kindergarten. I started in Ithaca, NY and every time we moved the rules of each state were different and that's why I spend so many years in Kindergarten from NY to VA, to NJ. I ws the most over-educated kid on the block. L O L

[@donmayer58]

Well hello there. My name is Donald Mayer. I was married for 28 years and I'm from the old school. My bride died in December of 2016. Many times, my wife said that I did not sign up for all the problems we had. Janet, let me make it abundantly clear I signed up for all the problems we had. I can only hope you have a husband who loves you with all his heart. If you don't, you're more than welcome to communicate with me. You may send me a reply if you want to do so. I'm so glad you have grandchildren. That is so wonderful! Janet, have a fantastic day!!!

[@janettrim7587]

@@donmayer58 - I am flabbergasted and thinking of how to begin this. Why on earth would anyone think for one minute that life would be easy and full of pink roses? I was one who looked at each dawning as a new day with no mistakes in it, yet. Being from the old school just means life was learned by living it and not by dreaming it from any tv show or someone's definition of it. LOVE is still a four letter word; its definition is simple enough: a verb. I don't think anyone ever thinks that any choice they make is an instant success story. It is not a reasonable assumption even for a child. I taught my children about the Law of Cause and Effect. It is always in play regardless if you believe it or not. No one "signs up" for a hard life but life will fool you and you have to be prepared to deal with it. You always have two choices and I deliberately chose to move forward, not backward. After the failure of my 8-year marriage to a military man I took a six year break trying to heal a broken heart. In that period of time I did a lot of growing up and into what became an extrovert, avoiding personal relationships, but developing my radio personality and becoming a party hostess for the singles group I belonged to in those days. It was a very important transition time for me and I eventually became a counselor for Suddenly Single people. I never realized that it would be a great training ground for dealing with six children, grand children and community service. I certainly take the time to count my blessings; I can't complain. I am abundantly blessed. I am always in overload and sometimes explosive - in the right way - mostly with my Dad's sense of humor. I really believe when things get tough - the tough get going. Not always to what the family appreciates, but nevertheless, reality and often in-check. And thanks for the comment. It's nice to find out that someone really does read this stuff! It's the only way I have of "letting it all hang out" and getting it out of my system. I married three times and each one worthy of a book. I've outlived everyone, much like my mother did and she lived to 101 and her mother to 104. So it looks like I have a way to go.

[@janettrim7587]

And as a side note from an old disc jockey: I love John Conlee's rendition of "The Old School and "Stuff That Works." My station played music considered "middle of the road" and Classics. Now I love country as you can tell by what John Conlee sings.

[@janettrim7587]

And Don Mayer, you have a very warm and comforting evening. Thank you for your sweet "Hello".

[@4Score747]

Wow! That song still brings a tear to my eyes..

[@rogerbowen4246]

Mine two Sharon

[@donmayer58]

Sharon, this is Donald. I found your comment to be most interesting. I wonder if you would be willing to tell me why this song brings a tear to your eye. Sharon, I'm 62 years old and have been blind since birth. I love this kind of music that has a positive message. Have you ever heard Alabama sing Down Home or Because he lives? Sharon, these are beautiful songs. I have plenty of other songs to tell you about if you're interested. Sharon, have a great day!!!

[@dand4692]

I can remember us cruising through town In your daddy's car with the top pulled down Looking so cool We came from different sides of the track But we still held hands out back of the old school We spent all our time together Laughing and having fun We swore that we'd love forever 'Cause that was the way things were done At the old school We both made it to our graduation You chose a college I chose a vocation driving eighteen wheels I became a part of your past You went and married some guy in your class He was a big deal Your picture was in all the papers You made such a lovely bride They said you were going places But me I just went for a ride Down by the old school I got married to a sweet young girl And kept driving for the line Your husband made his mark on the world Then he left you behind In the big house With the swimming pool Now you drive your kids Down to the old school Now here we are at the reunion of the class You ask my wife if we could have one dance For the old times We slow danced across the old gym floor You whispered it could be just like before Call me sometime You asked if I understand you "Well, yes I'm afraid to do" You say everybody does it Well, I don't care if they do I'm from the old school I'm from the old school Where hearts stay true I'm from the old school I thought you were too
