Moe Bandy -- Til I'm Too Old to Die Young [REACTION/RATING]

[@davidemswiler4351]

Great song choice...I'll bet Moe has more than a few more 10's just waiting to hit the channel! Moe was born in Miss. but was raised in Texas. Both him and his brother were well known bronc and bulls riders and I believe, they both made it in the Texas Rodeo Cowboy Hall of Fame. Simply put, anyone alive in the 70's in Texas knows Moe! I highly recommend "Hank Williams, You Wrote My Life".

[@jcreateturner]

I agree with the 10. Great songwriting, singing, instrumentals, danceable. One of the most memorable and enjoyable concerts I attended was Moe & Joe, all of us knew the words to every song Mow Bandy sang. One of my favorite artists.

[@DeddyShack]

Love Moe Bandy. Underrated in my opinion. Think you'd get a kick out of his song "Hank Williams you wrote my life. "

[@davidemswiler4351]

@Robert Shackelford Just recommended this song as well...should have read the comments first and just seconded yours...sorry. :-)

This song came out when I was in my late 20’s or early 30’s. I liked it then, partly because my kids were young. We all want to watch our kids grow up. Now, I’m almost 60. The kids are grown and I have a granddaughter. My parents’ health is declining. This song has a completely different meaning now. The words used to relate to myself. Now, those same words become a prayer for our kids and grandkids. Thanks Don. You’re the MAN!! Thanks to whoever requested this one, too!

[@travisdean8794]

This is my favorite song.

[@gloriashaeffer9117]

Good Morning! you are spot on this morning , Have a wonderful week!!

[@Dirtybird51077]

I remember this song from when I was a kid. I always liked it but I heard it again a few years ago after experiencing several losses and I cried like a baby. It just hits different the older you get

[@mikebarnett9012]

Happy Sunday morning Don, Wow! I haven't heard this song in quite awhile and had forgotten that it is so good. I've made it to that age, but the real tragedy are the ones who don't.

[@Doug_M]

I love Moe. Got to see two of the Moe and Joe shows in recent years and they are great. It's a shame that these country legends are about forgotten now.

[@timd2619]

Great song and just one of many by Moe. We danced all night long to this one and all his hit songs just a couple weeks ago at a place near our home and only about 1/4 mile from where Moe live for many years and he and his brother had their own rodeo arena many moons ago. He sounded as good now as he did well over 40 years ago when I heard him for the 1st time live. Please do everyone a favor who tunes in to your channel and try out a couple more of his songs like Bandy The Rodeo Clown, Someday Soon, Cowboys Aren't Supposed To Cry, Picture In A Frame, & Americana.

[@questioneverything55]

Wow up early on a Sunday morning!

[@travisdean8794]

Helluva song

[@PapaFixit]

More was underrated totally. He did a variety of types of songs ... honky tonk. Cheating, funny boys getting in trouble songs with Joe stamps. Drinking songs rodeo songs. So many. Someday soon. Is a good one and... Bandy the Rodeo Clown.

[@lindanicholson950]

A favorite of mine. But I didn't know who sang it.

[@JasonHalversonjaydog]

Til you mentioned him i never thought about how much this does sound like a Don Williams song, it has his "sound" sort of

[@saremile]

His song "She's not really Cheatin" is one of my favorite cheatin songs....

[@lefty3141591]

More Bandy has several great songs. He has adopted "Farewell party" as his signature song.

[@garygoodman4342]

Gene Watson recorded Farewell Party.

[@lefty3141591]

@@garygoodman4342 You are right. I got my singers mixed up. Thanks for catching this.

[@garygoodman4342]

@@lefty3141591 Easy to do, they look a lot a like, both from right around the same era

[@highnrising]

@@garygoodman4342 But Gene's thing is being a virtuoso singer who wows you with is voice--especially on "Farewell Party." Moe is more of an everyman type singer, whose engages you with the stories that he conveys in song.

Golden oldie but a good one one of my favorite songs u should hear Moe's tonight she went crazy it's got a strong beat to it and it is awesome in my book give it a try and see what you think .Don good morning 2️⃣ I also.

[@danwilliams9299]

Great song with a lot of truth in it. The closer we get to death the more we want to live. And we are to watch our children grow. We re not suppose to outlive them. Ive outlived my only girl so i really feel this song. I say i want to live while im alive. Not mine, but i try to live by it. Im almost 66 now and ive seen far too much death. So i Live!! We all btr.its really short. Great song. Lov how you put some thot into your reactions,you dont just say. Oh boy,what a great song. You think about it and thats whyi likeyour chann soo much. Hope ur subs always grow don. A big fan from northern florida. Dan..3/22/22

[@bwilliams463]

Used to be one of my favorites to sing for karaoke. Alas, my voice has failed so I can't sing anymore.

[@scottandal]

Many artists have done this song. I like Moe Bandy but my favorite doing this song is Kevin Welch.

[@highnrising]

Many artists may have sung it in the shower or included it on an album, but Moe's the only one who had a hit with it.

[@joycemcfee1829]

I'm not gonna say much, but I'm now too old to die young. It was always hard to listen to this, but it's a great song.

[@fenlori]

What can you say about Moe he is a 10 ...

[@dansigurdson]

Don do you know when old enough to know better kicks in asking for Tracy. Good song . one more day in jail and done , will be hard to be a outlaw when I'm not wanted any more. Keep the rust off your rifle . .HAKAD

@dan sigurdson I don't have that on my list--did you request it at some point?

[@dansigurdson]

@@RockN2Country its just statement, mlght be a song don't know maybe we should write one. I don't think I will ever be old enough. power of love over love of power. see my vid(jailhouse blues) make you smile... HAKAD

I see you struggling with the hat. Born and raised in rural Texas and I still can't wear a hat. I look utterly ridiculous in any kind of hat. Suggestion... Listen to Lyle Lovett "That's Right You're Not From Texas" and the hat thing will make more sense. The clouds will part. The skies will open up and the sun will shine more brightly.

[@RockN2Country]

@twfronterhouse I reviewed Lyle's song a year or two ago--always loved Lyle and that entire album. As for the hat, I'm comfortable with it now. I normally wear baseball hats, but the Stetson is fun for this Jersey boy to wear once in a while. :-)

[@Timoeltejano]

@@RockN2Country how did I not see that reaction... Oh wait.. Just checked and I just watched it the other day...lol. senior moment. Road to Ensenada is a great album. Think my favorite on there is "It Ought to Be Easier". My oldest daughter loved "Fiona" and used to run around the house singing "she's a one eyed Fiona" at the top of her lungs, of course. Keep doing what you're doing. I like it. Especially your "heart of country" series.
