    As a 20 year old unfortunate enough to be in gen Z, I wish we had more people like this. Genuine old school folks are a dying breed. Life is good and I thank the Lord every day for another chance to be a light in this dying world.

    Ray Price is one of the absolute best. He is a reflection of what true country music is. Of all the great Ray Price songs my favorite is "I Wish I Was 18 Again". I will be 79 in a couple of months so I certainly feel the emotion of this song. I can only speak for myself, but I believe most of us wish we could be 18 again.

    • @smerchly
      @smerchly 2 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      You speak for me too . I'm 79 and still love to listen to the 'old' crooners sing those sweet ballads . George Burns did a nice job on this song as well , and my father sang it while playing his piano about 20 years ago and he taped it for me . Cheers !

    This has been my anthem for the last 40 years! I once said if I could go back to being 18 I would do it all differently. But if I did I would miss out on having my wonderful daughters and Granddaughters. Still sometimes I wish I was 18 again. I’m 73.

    Dying of Pancreatic cancer he did an album Beauty Is and dedicated to his wife Janie. He would stay in the music venue and sign or shake any hand his whole career. By the time (Being last) in line, he signed everything for me. He did not make me feel rushed but appreciated. He never took a dime from songwriters for songs he sang. His songs are timeless. They say his Voice in the final album when he was in extreme pain from end stage pancreatitis cancer Did not require any musical enhancements. The older I get the how soo many old greats gear forgotten. Recall as a kid listening to 78 real thick records and because of the bad recordings I just trashed all those records. Now most don’t know what a 78 record was.

    I am 72. I get it. My niece called me old not long ago. I said yeah you are right, but I saw things live you only read about in history books, heard groups, and singers at their prime, and saw entertainers on Ed Sullivan of my parents and grandparents time, before the curtain fell for them forever. I saw America go from the peaceful sleepy 50's, to the mess it is today, and it all took about 37 seconds, which you will not begin to understand till you are old too.

    I`m 86 and this song sure rings true. Well done by one of the country greats. I do the song a lot and thought it needed a 4th verse at the end so I wrote the following: All of my old friends have long passed away, their memory has moved in to stay; dining and dancing are now at an end, I wish I was eighteen again. RIP Mr.Price. You`re greatly missed.

      Amazing how many "old" people are actually on youtube. Just a few years ago i was in my teens and thinking it was exclusively teenagers and people in their 20s. It sure is refreshing to see all generations fitting in.
      And I sure love you guys much more than the think-know-it-all 30-50 yo crowd obsessed with money and their careers until they hit their mid-life crisis and realize they wond find happiness there.
      You folks have been around the block and have true wisdom to share!

      I'm 40 years behind you, but realizing how quick those 40 years seemed to have come and gone, I can see over the horizon. This song kinda stings because even now at 46, the check engine light is comming on and waxing nostalgic for 18 is a reality for me as the aches and pains of middle age begin to appear.😢

Such a beautiful voice even at his older age shown in this video. He never lost his voice. Thank you Mr. Price for the years of enjoyment you brought us and this song is extremely touching as we all get older. RIP.

    Got to see this Gentleman within a year before his death. Didn't remember his name. Shed a few tears through the whole concert, knowing I grew up listening to him. He still sounded as great then as he did in my younger days. And this song brings tears to my eyes everytime I hear it.

    turning 53 in 2 weeks and really not looking forward to another year older is just like creeping closer to the end.
    I also feel I was 18 again.
    All of the mistakes in my life wish for a do over again.
    I feel that I let time pass me by and I really wish I were young again to take life slower and learn to enjoy things that I had missed or messed up to turn the wrong right and not be so sad of turning another year older and still all alone.
    Ray sang this song with all the passion and meaning to the song.
    I suppose most all of us that are much older wish to be young and do at least some things totally different and correct the mistakes we happen to regret.
    Granted I`m not an older man than many but, still if I can step back looking at the thoughts of so man who wish they were 18 again.
    Thoughts slow down learn to enjoy life as we have it coming as we keep growing older.
    Thanks, Ray for the beautiful song as you have sung it.

    I wa, in his, latter years a Freind of Ray's. One evening, while sharing a bottle of sour mash Bourbon Whiskey, on his tour bus I asked him if he really wished he was 18 again. He answered in the affirmative. I told him that I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy, but hetold me that if he was 18 again, he could have 60 more years to entertain folks with his music. That was the last conversation I ever had with my Frein, he passed shortly thereafter. Makes me wish he could've been 18 again. Isorely miss Ray!

    This is so compelling, and true. Nobody really understands being old and full of regrets until it happens to them. I have a lot of regrets in my life, and things that could have gone very differently had I made better decisions. Perhaps I have more regrets than most because of the way my life has gone (which I would never wish upon anyone). There is a sorrow here. What I am looking for is hope.
