Ha, I was going to send an email to the Michael Shelley show saying he should interview Sonny Curtis, but of course he has already done so

According to his bio, Sonny literally grew up in a hole in the ground, which should could for something.

Looks like ILX System is going to have to cast the tie-breaker vote.

I guess I better not even bother with my follow-up
TS Joe B. Mauldin vs. Glen D. Hardin

Maybe I would have had better luck starting a thread about Sonny Curtis, steel guitar player for The Jones Boys.

Wow. Just noticed this thread.
Sonny made history as the first rock n roller to record with a Fender Stratocaster, which he played on such records as "Blue Days, Black Nights," and his own composition, "Rock Around With Ollie Vee."
"Rock Around ..." is great. But so is Joe South's "Walk a Mile in my Shoes"

I love the chorus of "Walk a Mile". I never paid too much attention to the lyrics to that one, which get bashed in that other Joe South thread.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.
― ILX System, Thursday, 20 March 2008 00:01 (sixteen years ago) link
Whoa. Good thing I voted for Sonny.

never knew Curtis wrote "The Straight Life," which i knew as a kid from Glen Campbell's version. But have you heard Bing Crosby's?
