Dad used to play Traveling Wilburys a lot. He loved Roy.

Lyrics that include "...the cigarette trees" pretty much let you know this song is almost one hundred years old.

Here's the original, not the Burls Ives one I remember as a little kid.

I can see what the cost will be
You know, I don't need you
I just can't put you down
I can see what it all means to me
Honey, I don't need you
I just can't put you down

Was it through your Dad that you became an Orbison fan?

Was it through your Dad that you became an Orbison fan?

Yes. He likes "Honky Tonk" type of music and Orbison has a little of that. He and then I as well are also big Dwight Yoakam fans. I like Ronnie Milsap more than him, he loved Charlie Pride.
