@Randy C Moore You’re welcome, and as I commented during the reaction, this is gonna have a long shelf life on radio. You’ll be singing this many many times in concert, too!!

Well-deserved, Randy!! I love this story song!
I found this song refreshing, it's so creative and it brings back the past so elegantly. I love the video treatment too, with the color and black&white segments --- it makes a great visual for the story. I'm lovin' the Texas music you're finding on the channel Don, it's really great! Thanks for picking this one, and for your terrific reaction!
Very well deserved! Awesome song/video/performance Randy C Moore!
This was a really fun one. Also, love the clever little nod to Elvis' debut single at the end, "That's All right"
Good song. Very clever. Dude has a good voice, too!
That was fun song thanks Don. Thanks for the great reaction.
Fantastic! I love this song from Randy C. Moore!

I Love all the connections! It’s so cool that you chose this song. 😊 Thank you for another fun video, Don!! You’re the best. 😊

@Brenda Lynn Allen You're welcome! But more importantly, look at all the trouble you started!! ;-)
Never heard this before, but I love it.
Randy is awesome! Love this!
Great choice Don, this song shows from the writers perspective that Elvis was originally just like any other kid. We are all the same whether just normal folks like you and I or a one day superstar that ends up having to live up to huge expectations. I like the story and the song was well done and a catchy tune. #UTRCM
"Before Elvis was king"/ My mom grew up in Shreveport, Louisiana in the 40s and 50s and she and her girlfriends frequented the Louisiana Hayride. They'd see Elvis play there from time to time. At that time, most of that crowd in the early fifties was really into country music Hank Williams, Faron Young, etc. (My mom casually knew Faron from various song contests and venues in Shreveport she would go to. Supposedly he asked her out once, lol. But my grandfather wouldn't allow it). I remember my Dad would tease her when they'd get into an argument "Well, maybe you should have married Faron Young instead" lol. Anyway, she has told me, she and her friends saw Elvis when he'd perform at the Hayride during that really early stage in his career but to be honest they didn't take too much notice of him until he became famous. Then all of a sudden she was a huge fan, especially as he matured (Isn't that how it goes, lol). Elvis did sing a fair amount of country music at the Hayride in his early days because that was the kind of venue it was basically. My mother also went to school with DJ Fontana and my grandmother was actually good friends with his mother (My mom is of Italian descent and Italian American families in Shreveport were pretty close nit in those days) As everyone knows, Elvis met DJ Fontana while playing at the Louisiana Hayride and eventually made him his drummer . Mom also lived down the street from Hank Williams when she was a really young teen in the 40s but he was older and she never knew him. She says most folks who lived nearby just thought he was a drunk hillbilly singer who stayed up all night with his band playing music in his garage. Hank actually recorded many of his records n Shreveport. Shreveport was a hopping scene with music in those early early days, As well as Dallas with the Big D Jamboree, a radio program broadcast by KRLD-AM. I myself was a huge Elvis fan growing up.

Wow interesting thanks for sharing that Kevin . Ronnie Milsap shares how he played panio for Elvis also . In a interview I heard . Just something I was thinking about while I was reading what you wrote . He said Elvis said him during playing Kentucky rain " a little more thunder on keyboard Milsap. " He said he gave it to him .

@@terrywoodyyc Hi Terry, yes, I always loved that story about Faron Young. My dad would tease her about it all the time.
A really fun song. Thanks much, Don. I trully enjoyed this one and your reaction. 9.1 was a good rating.
Randy has a ton of songs that are really awesome, I have almost all of his albums! Hear him live monthly in Woodville, Texas and he lives in Lufkin, Texas…
That was awesome. We sure enjoyed the link. He gave Randy a 9.1 when he only gave Merle Haggard a 8.6. That’s saying a lot!
Another great one Don. Please consider The King's Last Concert - Red Sovine or The day Hank Williams came to town - Johnny Cash
Reminds me of a song if asked for before. Just a fun song. I think it's Jerry Reed TUEPOLO MISSISSIPPI FLASH!
I didn't think I'd like it but actually it was really good. Elvis was the only guy I admitted was cool & good looking.
Well congratulations first, now I think you will hear that Nationwide . I put this on your music channel but what the heck I copied it and going to put it here too! Like I put on my last entry on Facebook you deserve a 10 rating on this. But 9.1 will be okay. I tell people that confidence is knowing that you know that you know what you know. That is three knows there. And Randy buddy you know what you know... You know? Keep them smiling and keep them coming.
Befor Elvis there was very little color TV so it makes sense for the videos to be in black and white.
Consciousnesses??

@PapaFixit Initially I said “consciousness,” which wasn’t correct, so I changed it to “consciences.” I’m not even sure if I like that either, but it’s okay for now-I’m kinda stuck with it. :-)
