Mary Ellen, Mother and I with the Oak Ridge Boys |
As readers may recall, The Oaks considered recording a song (Luvean's Leavin') which Mother and I wrote back in 1983; however, it never came to fruition. But the minute they saw us last night, Duane yelled, "I had a true love, her name was Luvean!"
"She's a fixin', she's a fixin'," called Joe.
We were flabbergasted. "Y'all remember the words after all these years?"
Joe laughed. "Sure we do! Even our kids know the words!"
Before we could digest this, Duane chimed in, "Could you send us another copy?"
I dug up another tape of the famous Luvean's Leavin' this morning and sent it to the Oak Ridge boys.
Stay tuned. We'll see what happens this time around!

Wow, neat.
I enjoyed seeing the Kentucky Head Hunters at the local fair, but to actually meet the Oak Ridge Boys, great!
I've always been a fan of those guys.
P.S. I forgot to add good luck with the song lyrics! Keep us posted.
Thanks so much, Cara!
