I myself added two more: Waylon and Roger Miller.<br /><br />~ "Lonesome Dogg" McD-FensStephen T.

I was too little and too shy. My mother has a photo of him at our house jamming with my dad's band. This is before George went to Nashville and before he had an album. My dad's song "Yearning" was on Jone's first or second album I think. And I honestly don't know if it was George Jones who stuck his name on the credits. It's all second hand knowledge. I just know he didn't write it...and yes, there was a lot of cover tunes and rip offs back in the early days of recording. The Wilburn Brothers had some nice comments about "Yearning" on the back of the Earnest Tubb and Loretta Lynn album. <br /><br />Here is one of my dad's instrumentals which is available on CD:<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ty_TCg_5OU&feature=youtube_gdataEddie Eddingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15864410680077755048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7930553747640588156.post-2451625057498103712010-05-17T20:19:27.871-07:002010-05-17T20:19:27.871-07:00Wow!

It was very hard to pick 15.<br /><br />Lloyd - my wife would be surprised, she wouldn't think anyone else existed with as bad taste as me. <br /><br />Lee - Glad you could listen to them and enjoy them. You are so much more ecletic than I. You are so versatile.<br /><br />RCUBEs - Thank you for your blessing and kind words, I need them. Cash wanted to that album for a long time but no one thought there would be interest. It was a smashing sucess.<br /><br />SSL - Thanks for stopping by and checking out the list.<br /><br />Tess Conte - Hope you give them a listen. I think you would like some. Your welcome, I enjoyed checking your blog out.<br /><br />B. Miller - I know, what more could you ask , except maybe a little more Hank Williams or the Possum (George Jones)<br /><br />Jojomama - You are also welcome and JR was the man.<br /><br />Eddie Eddings - dude, you kill me. Do you know what I would do to meet George Jones before he is gone? About what you would do for a Klondike bar. I love the Possum. I am sorry he stole your dad's song - it happened alot back them and I am sure still to this day. I co-wrote a tribute to him and Merle, called Haggard and Jones. I was recorded by a session musician named Garry Johnson and released on a songwriters contest winner CD by UAR Records, Jerry Hanlon producer. I love the possum!<br /><br />Lynn - glad your friend has such excellent taste.<br /><br />LLLLL - thanks! I am transparent and an open book. I have nothing to hide.<br /><br />Ron - thanks for stopping by.

(the very short version)<br />When I was young, George Jones used to come over my house in Houston. My dad, the original Eddie Eddings, was a country western musician that knew George as well as MANY other CW stars. (My dad wrote a song called "Yearning" that George basically stole and recorded (back in HIS younger days). Everytime that song appears (you can Google it) it gives G.Jones and Eddie Eddings credit for writing..but, it was my dad and mother who worked on that song.<br />It has been recorded by Tammy Wynette, Jack Greene and Jeanne Sealy, George Jones, Loretta Lynn and Earnest Tubb to name a few.Eddie Eddingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15864410680077755048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7930553747640588156.post-75340776704958128212010-05-17T10:13:10.483-07:002010-05-17T10:13:10.483-07:00Johnny Cash is one cool dude.

In fact CCRs first album made my first list, but I had to take it off--I'm going to talk about it on my post tomorrow. I used to watch the Porter Wagoner TV show almost every Saturday afternoon back in the 60s. I don't know if was on nationally, but it was popular in East Tennessee.<br /><br />Good list.
