Jerry Clower on Loretta Lynn
Both favorites of mine. RIP Loretta
My 4 year old daughter’s favorite song at the moment is “Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man.” On the way home yesterday from Pre-K, she asked me to play the “Mississippi Man song.” Obviously I do Conway’s parts and she sings Loretta’s bit. What can I say, I’m raising my kids right. Rest In Peace, LL.
She said some funny things at times. One time she said they should have put that little button down there a bit lower.Gone at 90.
Awesome Post NWA. Awesome.Spent about 5 years of childhood as somewhat of a neighbor to her. We were the 3rd house on the right before you turned off the highway to her dude ranch near Waverly, TN. We went fishing and swimming in the creek/river there all the time. It was in the middle of nowhere about 12 miles from nearest city limits then and nobody around but the few that lived out there. We moved away when I was in kindergarten so I didn't fully understand she was such a big deal but my older siblings went to school with her kids the entire 5 years and knew them pretty well.
Went back as an adult and everything was extremely commercialized. It was sad.
I still remember around 1998, I was out of college and a friend stopped by on a Saturday morning. TV was on her bio-pic and a friend walked in and said :Gone at 90.
