Guitar. Piano. Fiddle. (1956)
Forget what you knew
We’ll start life anew
Down on the corner of love - Buck Owens (1956)
Sometimes life just needs to be pared back to the basics. In Buck Owens case, it was a simple, catchy melody with guitar, piano, & fiddle. The bedrock of a good country song with a simple BUT much needed message.
Forget the past. You have to have faith in yourself. That you tried your best. And this is where life has taken you. A place to start anew.
It’s at these times when it’s good to get back to the basics. A good country song. A cold beer. Just chilling in a comfortable and well-worn lawn chair and watching the clouds go by. The bees dancing amongst the flowers getting their last taste of summer.
A good nights sleep. A nice walk along the lake. Take in that fresh morning air. These are the basics of life => Guitar. Piano. Fiddle.
ps. I'm just a startin' to worship Buck Owens, and this is his very first song!!! [First added to this chart: 08/26/2022]
