good to see you pulling that louvin bros. classic out of the silo

thought of this one - from slightly later in that decade and more folky than c&w https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUfUAnqRJTQ

louvin bros were before my time but i did get to see charlie in what was probably his last nyc appearance, 2006 - by that time he was more cornpone comedian than singer but it was still a bucket list show

I think it could have been an influence behind some of

Bob Dylan's earlier songs. Dylan was a big fan of Americana

songs. He's made mention of the Atomic Bomb drill practiced

while at school - 'Diving Under The Desk' for protection.

(These days they probable practice their Nuclear Bomb drills

by donning face masks ?)
