Friday Night Classic Country
I’m a big fan of classic country music. I can’t say that I care too much for anything that comes out of Nashville these days. The old stuff just seems to have more integrity than fluff like Rascal Flatts (which I consider to be one of the worst of the modern day offenders).
One of my favorite all time singers has got to be Merle Haggard. Great voice and fantastic songs about hard work, freedom, prison, and (of course) drinking. In fact the only song I have ever sung (”sung” may be giving me too much credit) in a karaoke bar was Haggard’s “I Think I’ll Just Sit Here and Drink.”
One of his songs that piqued my interest this week was “Are the Good Times Really Over for Good” so here’s The Hag performing it for your pleasure.

I don’t know what town you are in, but Friday night in Troy is one of the world’s worst nights for old country music on the radio. We have two classics shows on Saturday and the Sunday night oldies show on Sunday, but Friday sucks.

There are a lot of Haggard songs that could vie for that honor. Working Man’s Blues, Fightin’ Side of Me, …

Is “sang” as you used it proper grammar?

I’m not quite sure, so I changed it to sung. Thanks.

The answer is yes.
