So Good to Hear Good Old Country Music Performed with such Class. Well Done!

[@johnstroh5897]

I like to listen to Mona, Darrell and Bobby at least once a day, This is good old style country music.

[@oldsalt7534]

I saw Connie Smith sing this at the Opry the winter of '64. She tore the house down. Great job Mona.

[@ChuckLursen]

Met Darrell and Mona McCall in San Antonio Texas back in 1980s They are my favorite ever since. Still play his songs on 45 RPM records

Wow a good job on Connie Smith classic. Great singer and Great band.

[@mosrite60]

FYI the pedal steel guy on original was Weldon Myreck RIP. One of the best ever. Played with Connie Smith on many of her tunes. Great song. mos60

[@sonnydave8551]

I agree. Connie said that Weldon was responsible for the Connie Smith "sound".

[@TheFishdoctor1952]

Very good cover of this Connie Smith song.

[@billashe2316]

Like her version more than Connie's

[@patriotpatriot473]

I love the music, but watching the video makes me sad. I played music for a living for 30 years, and played all over Texas. 6 nights a week I played in the old Texas honky tonks, and watched the young people dance the 2 step all night long, and now I watch these dancers, and they are all old like me. It was a great era, but sadly it's over. Now those same old honky tonks are almost all gone, and the ones that have survived are playing watered down country, or rap. Now days nobody would dance to my music. They all prefer Lil Wayne reciting a dirty poem with an out of tune bass, and an electric drummer...Guess I'm just a bitter old man, but it sure was fun in my day.

[@DosBeetos]

Patriot- don't be sad or bitter. Just think of all the fun you and the people you played for had at that time. I'm curious- where were the venues you played? There is still a lot of good music that you (and many others) would enjoy from some of the younger artists that aren't mainstream junk. I do miss those days too, and it sure was fun indeed.

[@patriotpatriot473]

@@DosBeetos, There are too many to name , but I'll give you a few. .. In Lufkin- there was the Shangri-la, the Foxcat, the Texas stage, The Oriental club...In Corpus Christie there was the Yellow Rose, The ponderosa, The Country Corral , The Ranch Club, The 7 palms....In Nacogdoches there was Bonitas and a couple more I can't remember....In Bryan/College Station, Gruene Hall....The Red Dog Saloon in Carlisle. Most of them I can"t remember the names of the clubs, but I played in Victoria, Longview, Dallas, ...There were dozens of others that I can't remember. We Opened for, or backed many big stars shows along the way....It was a hellova ride, and I miss it, but I still try to record some. I'm nowhere near what I once was. If you'd like to hear me, type in "utube Eddie nelson promised land", and that's me.

[@DosBeetos]

@@patriotpatriot473 Thanks for the link and for the info. I made several of those stops you mentioned in my time. You sound great in your videos. I enjoyed listening to them.

[@patriotpatriot473]

@@DosBeetos , did you play music also?

[@DosBeetos]

@@patriotpatriot473 I did not. I was one of those people two-stepping to the music you made around Texas. My hat is off to you for that.

[@MsLou-su5pj]

Great job !! Liked the switch over to French as well. Wonder if that was Louisiana French ?

[@whs1148]

I believe Mona is from Canada --French & Native American. Sings quite often in French.

[@TheFishdoctor1952]

Well she can have a great career in south Louisiana.

[@MsLou-su5pj]

whs1148 Thanks for the info. I guess a lot of the French in Louisiana originated from their ancestors in Canada. Mona does a beautiful job singing French and English. So many wonderful Country music singers come from Canada. Thanks Canada

[@TheFishdoctor1952]

@@MsLou-su5pj I believe most of the French in Louisiana are from Nova Scotia. Most were forced out and settled in south Louisiana.

[@MsLou-su5pj]

fish doctor , you are totally correct. I guess I was going way back before Nova Scotia to CANADA AND EVEN FRANCE. IT WAS VERY INTERESTING when I did my DNA showing how my ancestors miagrated (forced out ) to south Louisiana. Sounds like you are very familiar with this info. Louisiana perhaps?

[@larsnicklasson9961]

Welcome to Sweden again (nicklas)

[@misskj7773]

Good rendition, but just much too high of a key for this singer.
