We started out with a couple of plaintive Hank Williams tunes, so here's an up-tempo one instead: "Hey Good Lookin'"

incidently, when I was a little kid, I heard OC Smith doing "God Didn't Make Little Green Apples" and thought it was Charlie Pride

Is this uptempo enough for you? Leroy Van Dyke sings "The Auctioneer Song", which had been a hit for him in 1956

Think this may have been Conway Twitty's final recording.

It's time for another drinking song. Here's Ernest Tubb with "Just A Drink Away". A great example of old-time Texas honky-tonk music!
