[PJH]

Got laid off down at the fact'ry

Heaven knows I've been workin' hard

That might be my favorite Haggard song!

We used to have a scrubby band that played the local assisted living facilities, and December was the toughest month for us. We leaned heavily toward bluegrass, and the old Christmas songs are a little out of our league, but everybody liked ''If We Make It Through December''.

I like....

I turned 21 in prison, doing life without parole
No one could steer me right but mama tried, mama tried

 

[grandpa Love]

That's always been a favorite for self-employed carpenters! Slow time of year
