Every time I hear that I think of old Pat Gerow and his lovely wife Clover (singer).

My dad was best friends (for decades) with them in Vancouver.

Pat played... some kind of Hawaiian instrument... while they sang that song together one night.

I can still hear it... oh fuck were they good!

The Gerows had some kind of connection with the Sons.

They may have performed with them here or there.

I know Pat (steel guitar) performed with Hank Snow for a while.

He was in many groups over the years, the main one being The Rhythm Pals.

They're long gone now, but I'll always remember them, two of the warmest people I've ever met.

Oh wow, Stragelove knew a Rhythm Pal!

I'm a pretty big fan of The 'Pals myself

The Rhythm Pals were fixtures on Don Messer's Jubilee as I'm sure everyone remembers. Never missed an episode after the Saturday night hockey game (or was it before the game?)

There's Pat and Clover.

Pat was a gentle giant, but he almost killed a guy once with his bare hands when the fool accosted Clover (also known as Evelyn).

Damn did he love that woman...

Sometimes, after a particularly large and powerful bowl, i come into this thread and listen to all this weird ass music y'all keep sharing then try to figure it all out.

After about 3000 at bats i still havent gotten on base

Try something stronger Wiz.

A rare, hard to find selection from former newsman Hugh Downs' astonishing foray into folk music.

Sadly, meager record sales precluded any thought of a follow up recording date

Horrible!!

But, and I'm being dead serious, William Conrad was much worse on the episode of Carol Burnett I was telling you about!
