Back in the early 70s here in California I used to work for a couple who used to listen to country music all the time, that's what I listened to all day long 5 days a week he was from Ohio she was from Virginia very nice folks and among the things I learned from them was to like listening to country music till this day. Now all I can say is I thank God for allowing me to be a part of that American dream from them beautiful days and that I miss them folks and their country traditions I learned from them God knows how much I miss em and hope to see em again as the Lord promised us

Kenneth Sibert I saw an interview view of him when he was in music city or someplace like that and someone had locked themselves out of their room and car because of leaving keys in their room. Mel said he was sleeping in the bath tub and they were crWling through the bath room window to get their keys. Mel said he was trying to tell paycheck that someone was crawling through the bath room window and he couldn't because of his suffering. He said he thought about it a second and decided to sing it "someone's coming through the bathroom window ". it was hilarious.

He had a long list of hits, and sang well. I am glad I grew up in the 1960s and 1970s, able to hear classic country when the hits were new. Music began to reek during 1990. It's a wonder the feminist types don't forbid this from playing on you tube, so many people act so overly sensitive today. I love his hit Who's Julie, too.

I first heard him singing this song on the telecast of the CMA Awards in 1976. He was sitting on the steps of the stage, singing it. I wish someone would post the entire telecast on You Tube. Someone posted part of the telecast. He was presented the Entertainer of the Year award on that telecast, and he made a rather moving speech upon receiving it. I still remember that. I was about fifteen years old at the time.
