Do any of you people have a singer or song that brings special memories of times past.
This simple country song reminds me of better times.
Warning, if you ain't country, go no farther.

This father and son are country as turnip greens and cornbread.

Do they have an album? And if so where can I get one?

"In Color", by Jamey Johnson

Yep, that's a good story song too.
Songs that take me back, "The King is Coming", my mother, "Almost persuaded", an old love, who I can still hear whispering in my ear "take me away from here, and be my man....", "Lara's theme", my first wife. Seems like it played everywhere we went. It became kind of a joke to us. I held up pretty good, at her funeral, until they played that song. "Somewhere, my love....". It was my request. I was always big into self torture. "Call of the Wild Goose", my father. He sang it nearly as good as Tennessee Ernie.
My current wife is a lot like me, and likes a lot of the non-mainstream country music. For her, I have to go with "Ruth Ann", Royal Wade Kimes. We discovered it, and both loved it, where most were lukewarm to it.
Anyway, just a few stray remembrances. Hope I didn't bore you all too much.

Songs and scents bring memories back to me a lot. Different songs, for different people, and such. Sometimes, a strong trigger. I walked past a lady one time, who was wearing "windsong" perfume, which was a favorite of my mothers. Gods honest truth, for just a second, I was 8 years old, standing in front of the fireplace in our old home, on Christmas morning, my mother spraying the gift of perfume on her wrist. Clear as day, Her , my sisters and my father, still in pajamas. It was an image that left entirely too soon, as I hadn't seen her in many years.

Words spoken from the heart never bore me Sir. Honest feelings and remembering friends and family seem to be lost with the younger self centered people in today's society.
Guess it's our fault to a degree due to both parents working to try and make ends meet and has resulted in our not installing the values we were taught to love and respect.
I see this shortcoming more in my grandkids than my kids.[V]

Bored? No, not at all.
I think you put into words exactly what I feel sometimes.
Certain songs, the smell of the ocean, a baseball card flapping in the spokes of a bike and other triggers make me think of the past. Both good and bad.
