[@patricklowery1031]

I was born in 57. This song captures small town life.

[@goldilox369]

Both my parents were born in '55. But I was born and raised in Staunton... So this brings back many memories (mine and theirs) when I watch this video. The girl in the Pink prom dress was a cheerleader of my mom's (Harold's daughter) when they made this video. She gave us an advanced copy cassette. We wore it out!

[@extremeocd1184]

I saw where Harold Reid passed away yesterday after a long battle with kidney failure. That just breaks my heart :( I'm a die hard Statler Brothers fan. I started listening to them in the early 70,s when I was only 16 years old. I finally....just recently, purchased their farewell tour DVD and CD. Harold was a card! Loved his clean, comedy skits!! Fly high Harold, you will be missed by so many!!!! :(

Yes, but on a different street. They even changed out the street signs. The story is a man who lived on this street became quite confused when headed home.

@@marianoleonelszamudhio3647 it was filmed on Allegheny Ave in Staunton VA 24401 (USA). The sign said Maple, but they just switched the street signs (we have a different Maple St in Staunton). The grown teenage daughter with the big pink dress is Harold Reid's youngest daughter Kasey. She was one of my mom's cheerleaders and was actually in high school when this filmed. The older lady (grandma in blue) I believe was Harold and Don's Mom. There were other friends and family in the video, but I was 7 when they filmed it, so I don't know for sure. I just know I've been down that street plenty. Watching this is like going back home because I was born and raised there. I babysat Jimmy's kids a few times, my brother played ball with Jimmy's son & Phil's grandson. Hope this helps.

I can still smell the food cookin in the back yard on the 4th of july and getting all excited that morning and all of us running down to see the parade and hanging out in the park with the thousands of people. Sure brings back some really REALLY good times.....

[@jospaulding1654]

Great memories to last a lifetime. I am a little jealous. I was born in a small town in Southwest Va. but raised in Indianapolis. Had cement under my feet most of my life but longed for those hills. Where neighbors were friends, kids were safe, life was simple & kind.

[@wbHakse]

I’m almost 83 years old now and still I cry softly when I heart this song. I think on my youth It is over now, my life is almost over. Only my memories are still there. O.m.g. I miss my youth times!!

Maple Street Memories is a song that has meaning to all of us. I think we have memories,that takes a long time to get over

[@michaeljcommins]

Beautiful almost beyond words. These are the kind of singers and songs that made country music great. Maple Street Memories is extra special. Millions of miles removed from the rubbish that passes as "country" today. This is a truly haunting song from the wonderful Statler Brothers. High Five from Ireland....!

[@tomhahn6792]

"...and you took my breath away". One of greatest lines ever in a song.

I've listened to this song over and over and over and it still saddens me that the two of them didn't end up together. Perhaps because I let my "Maple Street Memory" get away and although I have a wonderful wife, kids and grandkids, I often think of the one I let go.

[@johnnyhester9106]

My maple street memory died in 1987

[@jasonmorgan4182]

I always thought those two should've been together all through the song.

[@kimtowner3473]

I think this song touches a lot of people because they have a "Maple Street Memory" of one that got away. Someone you thought was "the one" and you would spend the rest of your life with them. But the stars did not align, nor did the fates allow. And you went your separate ways. My wife and I have been together almost twenty years, and we have a great life together. But there is someone from my early life who I occasionally think of and hope that her life has been a good one and that she is happy.

There was a time I had girlfriend like that. School; military service, time, and distance kept us from being together. I ran into her 20 something years after the fact, she acted like we never knew one another.

This brings back all of the happy memories of my life in Eufaula, Alabama. I walked several miles to and from school without any worries. People knew each other and we were always safe. Anyone taking a vacation, please visit Eufaula and be sure to see the tree that owns it self and treasure the plaque that states; "Poems are made by fools like me, but only God can make a tree". I love the antebellum homes the streets where we played in the huge grass areas that divided the directions of travel. Eufaula is one of the most beautiful cities in the South. I wish I was still there and visiting my school mates.

[@shaneford6443]

I thought I had heard all their songs by now. I started listening to the Statlers when I was around 7 or 8 and I am almost 51 now ,they were my Dads favorite group. We would ride around in his old Chevy step side truck with the Statlers playing on the 8 track tape deck . I knew where and when my favorite songs were starting no matter what channel happened to be playing at the time. I would recognize the line and start clicking to the channel where my song was starting. I love everything they ever sang but I think This bed of Roses is my all time favorite. I love to hear their “ODE TO JOHNNY CASH “ I believe it’s called “PAID BY CASH “ .Nobody can sing like Don I memorized every inflection in his voice on my favorite songs . God rest your souls Harold and Lew , I believe Lew was their tenor before Jimmy. I was seriously devastated to hear about Harold though.
