Re: Ray Stevens

I love Ray! He's from down here in Georgia from a little town located close to us called Tallapoosa. I love it!

Re: Ray Stevens

Thanks for that Russ. Must say I didn't know of him before. I prefer his version to all the other slow ones I've heard and I'll be doing this version in future. Loved the HELLO MAMMA track too! Hysterical.

Ray Stevens was always one of my faves- mostly because of his comedic approach.  He has incredible vocal abilities - yet makes you smile as you listen to his songs.

Thanks for sharing.

That one is super cool and funny as heck - the video makes it even funnier..  Ray Stevens had an unbelievably sharp wit.

Excellent! What more can I say?     How do spell Passecooga?

I believe that would be Pascagoula.
