Christmas 1971, I was 6 years old and didn't appreciate country music. My father bought this as a "gift" for me (truthfully, I think it was for him :)). I still have the 45 and cherish it now. I just wish he were still here to listen to it with me.

My grandparents were in the coin operated machine business, so I had easy access to Juke boxes and 45s. This record was in a jukebox in the garage, and I played it over and over and over as a kid. Now, many years later, I’m living in my grandparents house with the same garage, and still listening to the same record - only on KZfaq now!

I remember my brother going to the juke box repair shop in the 70s and buying the used 45s. I think he still has some of those. Good times.

Yesterday was definitely better than today in every facet for some people like me.

He was a good guy, though, and I went on to be a more conscientious employee!
