Compliments of new RR member, George Wells, here is something you probably have not heard before.

George has a great story about the recording of this song and has agreed to be a guest on Racing Through History to tell the story.

Just read George's blog post on Nashville Music Pros about recording the song in 1977. Very funny. Thanks for posting the song. I had never heard it.

Great to hear Neils voice again, even if he is singing.

Thanks for listening. Marty Robbins said if Neil would stop singing he would stop driving. We had 11 hours with Neil at the studio. What a blessing it was.

Thanks for the remarks. Neil did a promotional ad for me when he came to Huntsville to promote our song.

Thanks for the kind remarks. I will never forget my time with Neil. Little did I know how much it would mean to me. He was a wonderful man.

Many thanks for using our song. I added 10 on my page today. Two Christmas songs, two stock car songs,

and a few examples of my writings. Hope someone hears a blessing in there somewhere.

I believe George must have been following you on the Goat Rodeo chat Tuesday night. I see he has posted on his page a song titled,

"PUPPY DOGS AND COUNTRYGIRLS DON'T BELONG ON CITY STREETS" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pretty good stuff and I immediately thought of you trying to giveaway the puppy last night!
