Song Association Game

"Satin Sheets" - originally recorded by Bill Anderson and Jan Howard and famously covered by Jeanne Pruett. After Jeanne made it famous, many other covers followed.

Many years ago, Leilani and I got a gig at a bar in town about 50 miles away. We were a new duo back then, a pop band catering to the retirement audience and we only knew about 5 country songs. We walk in about 2PM to set up our gear, "Satin sheets to lie on, satin sheets to cry on..." is whining away on the jukebox, the bartender has a huge cowboy hat with feathers, snakeskin boots, a fringed vest and the bar patrons were all hatted and booted. There were broken wooden chairs in the back corner of the stage and thumbtacks with the stubs of dozens of holiday crepe paper streamers all over the walls near the ceiling.

We had visions of the "Blues Brothers" movie in our heads. We said we were going to kill our agent if we survive this.

Came back that night with sketches of a few country songs that we might mangle if needed, and the audience was entirely different. Mostly retired folks. We had a blast and they held us over for 2 months.

Excuse me if that's TMI
