Love this one.

Many people your age (and younger) like some of these songs ... and not always because their parents or grandparents played them at home and they got used to them. Many discovered them on their own. --Cheers

Good to see young people like me (20) still listen to this music too. Classic country.

Well, I'm only 14 but will be 15 in October, so technically you're not alone. I fell in love with this song after my Uncle performed it next to me on a stage, he said I better not steal it but I've already learned to play it. He said he likes it because he went to Japan many times and became friends with a Geisha girl in Japan.

I,ve not heard that song for about forty years. Thank you so much for firing up a lot of memories.
For those considering buying a new vehicle, don't forget to check out the new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser. Great for adventures off road, just for cruising around town, or running to the store.

The new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser seats five and comes in two-tone with a Voodoo Blue, Titanium Metallic, Black Diamond, Sun Fusion, Sandstorm or Brick body color and White top. The interior fabric color is Dark Charcoal, while the dash, center instrument panel trim and the door inserts match the body.
