Local country singers
« on: November 30, 2012, 09:28:14 PM »
Now I'm not really a country music kind of guy... though the odd country song is ok.

This here is a song by Jimmy Arthur Ordge... about Hershel, running "hooch" back in the day... in my province.

Speaking of "local Country" I was the drummer in a band that later acquired a singer by the name of Allen Jackson. (yep,, that Allen Jackson)

After realizing that playing in a band, probably wouldn't be good for my marriage, I quit the band before Allen Jackson joined but it turned out that my new bride had gone to school with him all through high school.

This was my FIRST marriage.  ::) ::) ::)

Sooo!! Would it have been better to have stayed with the band??

I don't "regret" that marriage.

It's 7 year run taught me a bunch about what it means to be happy.

"Would it have been better to have stayed with the band?"

Not a chance! I would rather be married to JRex and living my modest life as it is.   ;)

I had a one love of my life.  What you're saying.... this can happen a second time?

I was just teasing Rudge but I know first hand what he is talking about, I live something similar.

In my experience it can happen, doesn't feel the same but is very good, at some point you start to believe the other was just a needed experience to have the present relationship.

It seems to me that repeated failures (was my case) are because I was expecting to feel the same thing (that was what I understood by love) and just didn't happen, after several experiences I was ready to live alone and found my present wife, 22 years of marriage and counting  :) 

We're just returning with the kids from having breakfast in a new place (big quesadillas with meat, migadas dish size) where all was delicious and saw your post, I know it was not addressed to me but couldn't refrain.

Sometimes it takes a wise man to recognize one.

Sammy, it can happen to anyone at anytime as many times as there are stars. You just have to open your heart and see who finds their way in.  ;D

That does sound nice.  I don't want another break-up though.........

Well, all I can tell you is that I'm the right one for Rudge. There's a right one out there for you too. Just be yourself, and she'll find you.
