Write Around the Corner | Don Reid

God bless you I have been listening to you for 48 years God bless you

What a wonderful interview ! Enjoyed it thoroughly Thank you Rose and especially ( My Hero) Don!!

Thank you for all your work Mr. Don!!! We love you!!!

why did the statler brothers retire 20 years ago but the Oak Ridge Boys are still on tour in 2022?

Lovely interview💕💕💕💕👍👍

Tremendous.

Greatest music group of any genre, bar none.

I actually lived in California for a few years your years and not once did we have Christmas or Thanksgiving homemade. It was always ordered from somewhere and you only got enough food for the meal never any leftovers. I don't think you could pay me to live there again.

It would have been just the coolest thing if the Statlers and Oaks could have recorded 2 or 3 CDs together with each group singing the other's hits as well as some originals and country classics. Both groups were just phenomenal.

Thank you for all your songs I miss Harold I loved all his funny acts

Just finished the book. Fantastic…… While I think Hunter Thompson’s assessment of the music business is basically on target, this book showed me a much more civil and inspiring side of the business.

Awsome

Thank you for the music.

Rose is a great interviewer . Really enjoyed it .

What an awesome group as well as each member individually. The songs, humor and stage presents is to be honored. I could listen to him talk all day. So truthful and calming.

I have loved the Statler brothers since I was 14 years old to then on the Grand Ole oprey at mid night
I never got a chance to see them which I regret to this day but I did listen ‘to them on utube mostly every night
So bless Bess you all

Wow The Statler Brother beat out the two most popular groups of the 60's The Beatles and the Supremes at the 1965 Grammy awards for best contemperary song with Flowers on the Wall.

These guts were good....especially the Roadhog stuff...so funny on so many levels.....

The only thing missing from that book is the sweet harmony of their voices.

Thank you for all wonderful heartfelt song

I have a couple good memories of the Statler brothers. 2 from one concert. I was 4 going on 5 in 1980, and listening to them with my dad was one thing we enjoyed doing together. Well, on the way to the show, 10th Anniversary had just been released, I asked my dad if they are going to do Nobody Wants to be Country. He said no because they didn't have a clarinet in the band. Well, they did it. They also played the Movies, also featuring the clarinet. I don't remember anything else from the show, but the stage attire was from The Country America Loves. After the show, they signed autographs. My dad told my mom that he was going to talk the the keyboard player and see if I could have my picture taken with the 4 of them when everyone clears out. My mom said that my dad would never be able to pull that off. Well, he did, but, my mom used all of the film in the camera. Well, at least I was able to see them, and then a few more times. This is a great interview. Don is such a genuine man.

42 Years Ago, My Late Father and My Still Spunky, Cant Sit Still Mother took THEIR 8-YEAR-OLD SON to his VERY FIRST CONCERT. Who were they taking him to see? His Favorite Band, The Statler Brothers! Man, what a night! What a memory! What an impact! I left that night saying "I want to be the one standing on that stage at the Augusta Richmond County Civic Center(now the James Brown Arena) in Augusta GA. Just 10 years later, I would accomplish just that because I became the morning radio host of my hometown of Augusta GA but also ended up bringing on stage some of the biggest acts over the past few decades. Unfortunately, I never got the opportunity to meet the Statler Brothers, and have met everyone from a Rolling Stone, a Beatle, the Beastie Boys, Pearl Jam, etc etc etc. I ended up in the Rock Format, but am a huge country music fan, but my country is The Statlers, Oak Ridge Boys, Alabama, Randay Travis, etc etc etc. BUT ONE DAY...one day it will happen! Unfortunately, I will not get a chance to meet one of my biggest comedic influences in Harold Reid. I doubt many call him a comedian, but oh man, they should because he was hilarious.

The lady had to read about the Statlers at the beginning. I'm pretty sure she had no idea who they were before this. Pathetic!

I just finished the audiobook version. I was driving to work when I got to the last couple paragraphs, and a special song played in the background (I don't want to spoil it for those who don't know) as Don read, and I could tell he was struggling to get it out without breaking down. I bawled my face off, I swear, for a solid 10 minutes as I drove down the road.

Such a lovely, touching discourse. Makes me long for one more summer with those I so love here in the state of Mississippi. Thank you for this treasure.

I just ordered your book. Thank you, thank you!

I love their song You Cant Go Home. It's so true. Lucy is adorable.

I loved your comment of Virginia. As a 75 year Virginian I love my state. From Tidewater to Augusta County to Staunton to Goochland and now Bland, Virginia. I've move many times but always in Virginia.

My wife and I were introduced to The Statler Brothers in 1973 and remained faithful to their Farewell Concert. The one question that I have had for a long time is when did they ever have time for family? With performing on the road and rehearsing and writing while at home, I don't know when they would ever have time for family.
