Ron, perhaps this 'poem' is 'free verse'? That (free) is one thing STILL good about PoemHunter/Poem Hunter/PH. Yay! At least your story is broken up into 'stanzas'. : )) bri
Ron, you were born in '42? I've heard of Hank Williams and Burt, but maybe not Don. Did you ever sing before an audience? : ) bri
Very close, Bri. You only missed it by a couple of years or so. Yes, I have performed before an audience many times.
Thank you for the comment, Asim, but I don't have any songs on the internet, and no link to send.
Thank you for the comment. We all have talents. We just need to find them.
This is a great one. I used to live in west Texas, not far from Floydada. Never meet your famous cousin, but love his music. I truly like the picture also.
Thanks, ol' pal, for the comment. They used to have rodeos in Floydada, but that's one place I never got to ride.
Dom was the first cousin, and I was the second. Hank was the third cousin. The fourth cousin's name was Tennessee. : ) : ) : ) : )
Thoroughly enjoyed reading this, Cowboy. I have a story about your cousin Don that I may post later today. Watch for it.
Bharati, thank you so much for the comment (and the compliment) !

Ron, a classmate of mine, in my 'youth', said his dad, 'Lonesome Larry' (last name Weller) was a 'Country Singer'. Ever hear of him, I wonder. : )
No, never heard of him but found him on Google. Born 1915, died 1965.
