Presumably he sang it at least? I can´t remember where I first heard it, it
was a long time ago. For some odd reason, I thought the song was "I´´m
proud to be an Okie from Fenokee", which is why I looked at my files.

One that particularly sticks in my mind is a song which I think was sung by
George Hamilton IV (?). I believe it was called "I was born in Saginaw
Michigan".

Actually that was Lefty Frizzel...good song.

George Hamilton IV had hits with "A Rose and a Baby Ruth" and "Abeline". Given
his soft styling of ballads, it doubtful he recorded "Saginaw, Michigan", but I
had no idea Jimmy Dean wrote "Okie From Muskogie", so what do I know?

I have forgotten, or never really knew some of these things. I have never
heard of Lefty Frizzel for instance. "Country and western", ( meaning
practically everything from America which was not "Pop" at the time), was
not all that popular in England then, and I have not heard all that much of
it since. My priorities shifted to other things. I always wanted to get
some more bluegrass and one or two other things, just to listen to, but I
never did get much. It is hard to obtain some things here anyway. Doubtless
I could now use the net if I really wanted to.

Mainly I concentrated on folk music, mostly from the UK.

Here's a simple question. "Yes" or "no" answer, please, and then
elaborate as you wish:

Is it sportsmanlike to shoot 70 farm-raised pheasants and ducks in one
day?

Did Cheney eat all those birds? Not likely. Maybe he donated them to a
homeless shelter, but I doubt it. My best guess is that he left them
behind for the game farm people to take care of.

My guess is that SOMEBODY will eventually eat them. Thus, the whole thing
is little more than a presumably very expensive exercise in meat processing.
Reasonable reactions to it must, I think, be based on who is footing the
bill.

Wolfgang
who has shot a few pen raised birds.....though, usually, on someone else's
nickel. :)

One of Lefty Frizzel biggest hits was "If you got the money honey I got the
time". I am sure you have heard that.
Have you heard of Hank Snow? "I've Been Everywhere, I'm Moving On, The
Golden Rocket etc",
Hank Williams- "Your Cheating Heart", "Jambalaya", "Cold Cold Heart", "I
Saw The Light" etc. I have a lot the guys above as well as Tex Ritter and
Hank Thompson , these guys defined country music as far as I'm concerened.
They were recording great songs long before some of the disco singer with
cowboy hats were kicking the slats out of their craddles.
Hank Thompson recorded "Oklahoma Hills" a song that is more of an anthem
than "Okie from Muskogee" is for Okies and Sooners, the best version was
recorded by Gene Autry.
