Day One Thousand and Seventy Two

The scaffold was high and eternity nears She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear But sometimes at night when the cold wind moans In a long black veil, she cries over my bones

Daryle Singletary performing "I Never Go Around Mirrors". I remember this song from the Keith Whitley recording, but it actually goes back to Lefty Frizzell. ________________________ I Never Go Around Mirrors Songwriters: Lefty Frizzell and Sanger “Whitey” Shafer

I can't stand to see A good man go to waste One who never combs his hair Or shaves his face

A man who leans on wine Over love that's told a lie Oh, it tears me up to see A grown man cry

So I never go around mirrors I can't stand to see me Without you by my side No, I never go around mirrors Because I gotta heartache to hide

I can't stand to be Where heartaches hang around It's so easy for the blues to get me down To see a grown man crawl Is more than I can stand And I look into the eyes of half a man

So I don't go around mirrors I can't stand to see  Me without you by my side

No, I never go around mirrors Because I gotta heartache to hide And it tears me up to see A grown man cry

It was 76 years ago today, that “The Louisiana Hayride” had to first broadcast.

Live from the Municipal Auditorium in downtown Shreveport on April 3, 1948, Horace Logan, the original producer, emceed it inaugural show on KWKH radio station, which station manager Henry Clay created.

The guest on night included the “Bailey Brothers, Johnnie and Jack, The Tennessee Mountain Boys (with Kitty Wells), the Four deacons, Curley Kinsey & The Rebbessee Ridge Runners, Hamie Smith, the Ozark Mountaineers, the Mercy Brothers and Tex Grimsley & The Texas Showboys.

The name “Louisiana Hayride” was taken from the 1941 book by Garnett Thomas Kane, titled with the same name.

With a year, The Hayride grew to a 25-station network, which also included broadcast overpass on Armed Forces Radio.

While the flagship station continued to be KWKH 1130 AM, it not only could be heard on much bigger stations like WLW in Cincinnati, it soon made it way onto the growing new technology called ‘television.’

Of course it spawned the floodgates of hundreds of country music and rockabilly greats to perform there, such as Hank Williams, Webb Pierce, Hank Snow, Faron Young, Slim Whitman, Jimmie Davis, George Jones, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Lefty Frizzell…..and of course…..Elvis Presley!

The Louisiana Hayride’s run continued until August 27, 1960, but KWKH continued to use the name to package musical tours throughout the 1960’s.

I especially appreciate Joan Baez lesbian long black veil cover because I had really liked Lefty Frizzell’s version until I found out about him meeting fellow country singer Stoney Edwards because Edwards was Black and Indigenous and. well.

“After “Hank and Lefty Raised My Country Soul” came out and made at least enough noise for everyone in Nashville who actually gave a shit about country music to pay attention, Stoney happened to find himself in the same bar as Lefty Frizzell one night. Lefty was only two years away from successfully drinking himself to death and, on this night, when someone played “Hank and Lefty Raised My Country Soul” on the jukebox, Lefty was so drunk he couldn’t hold back the tears from hearing the song and so drunk he didn’t have a clue who he was talking to when Stoney Edwards walked up to introduce himself as the singer. After spending the past decade or so feeling like the industry and country music fans forgot about him and moved on, Lefty was blown away by the tribute to him. But then he expressed some kind of frustration over the record being by a Black artist. Only, Lefty used the n-word. Stoney just shook his hand and walked away.

- from this cocaine & rhinestones episode about Dallas Frazier

in response to this incident Edwards wrote a song that is really good but that a lot of stations refused to play because he referred to himself and his father as “a couple of country [n-word]s”

#took me so long to find the source of that story bc I didn’t want to post about it if I didn’t remember it clearly #huge fear of accidentally spreading misinformation on any level #stoney edwards #joan baez #lefty frizzel #what did you think all them saddles and boots was about #audio #marc.txt #Spotify

[sadsongsandwaltzes]

So me and some of these folks on Spotify have very different ideas as to what constitutes “old country”

#homegirl what is this #give me lefty frizzell or give me death

About those Wilbury names…

• Nelson Wilbury (aka George Harrison) — Dhani Harrison: “I chose my Wilbury name. My dad had Nelson Wilbury, after Nelson Piquet, the Brazilian Formula One champion. And I chose Ayrton Wilbury, after Ayrton Senna, [another] Brazilian Formula One champion, so we could keep it in the family, you know?” - Hi Res Audio Central, October 16, 2017 • Charlie T. Wilbury Jr. (aka Tom Petty) — Tom Petty: “George had Derek Taylor write an entire history of the Wilbury family. And the father was named Charles Truscott Wilbury. And I took his name as Charles Truscott Wilbury Jnr.” - Breakfast With The Beatles, July 1, 2007 • Lefty Wilbury (aka Roy Orbison) — “Roy took the name ‘Lefty Wilbury’ in homage of the country singer Lefty Frizzell.” - “Roy Orbison: In Dreams,” PRX • Lucky Wilbury (aka Bob Dylan) — Presumably, this is derived from the Dylan song “Idiot Wind,” and the lyric, “I can’t help it if I’m lucky.” • Otis Wilbury (aka Jeff Lynne) — Jeff mentioned in an interview available on the official Wilburys YouTube channel that he chose the name Otis simply because it’s the complete opposite of his own name.
