I used to own a tattoo shop and we had an old man that would come down every day and sit and talk about everything. He'd bring whiskey and we'd do some shots after close. When he died, a piece of our shop went with him. R.I.P. Grandpa Gary.
a room is just a room until someone is in it and leaves it empty, that's what's great about the small towns, the coffee shops and bars, the regulars make those places special
Love how genuine and unique both of your expressions are as you take this musical journey. I can see when you feel the music. GOD is great, beer is good, and people are crazy.
Mel, you summed this up perfectly - you never know the impact you can have on someone's life even if it's just one conversation with a stranger you never see again. To me, this song reminds me of the Biblical verse "Do not be forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares (Hebrews 13:2)"
Billy was born and raised in my hometown his family live around the corner from me. My kids went to school with him. The old man in the video is Mr. James Day he was all of us teenagers neighborhood dad He passed away a few years ago.
Billy Currington's "People Are Crazy" was written by Troy Jones and Bobby Braddock. Troy was in Alabama and decided to take a little ride in the country. I was trying to think of three things you can't argue with, and I came up with "God is great; beer is good; people are crazy." I went back to the house, got my guitar and ended up writing several lines that wound up being the first verse of the song. I knew I had my first writing session with Bobby that next week, so I held onto the lyrics and melody to play it for him. I was a little nervous to write with him, because he's such a legendary songwriter. I played him what I had, and he said, "Man, I love it." It was Bobby's idea to make the guy rich and leave all his money to the kid he's talking to in the song instead of his own kids. I wasn't too sure about that idea, but I figured if you can't trust Bobby with your song, who can you trust?
Shawn & Mel, y’all played this for me and commented that y’all should do a reaction. This is an awesome song!!! Wonderful message! Love y’all so much!!
This was a keen example of country music and the story telling and the impart of wisdom. This is why I believe more people can truly relate and benefit from classic country music.
People get so busy in their lives they loose sight of what and who is important, especially for the elderly. It means more than you know just spend a little time and lend an ear to someone who may feel forgotten or neglected by those they care about the most.
He didn't leave his kids any money because his kids never paid attention to him. Billy for just one night at a bar, show friendship, compassion, and the best time of his life.
You are impacting people. I’m one of those. I’ve been battling major depression for the last 6 months and today I’m finally having a good day. This video put a smile on my face and really eased my pain and made me forget for the time being. I love yalls reactions. I just want you to know that you both are helping individuals like me.
Mel, don't be embarrassed by tears. That was a great, bittersweet story. I'd never heard this song before (not being a country fan) but I really enjoyed it. And THANKS for your GENUINE reaction!
The old man in the video was Mr. Day. His best friends dad. Jamie and Greg Day. He has passed since this video. They own Day Roofing in Pooler, Ga. I've played music with Billy and Greg in Savannah, Ga. On River Street as well.
That is so true Mel, you never no what a kind word will do and how it can change someones life for the better. True story, when I was 37, I was in the hospital on the one year anniversary, of my mothers death. I was in serious condition and suffering from the same illness that she passed away from. In the middle of the night I woke up in tears and was just miserable. The sweet old lady in the next bed over sat up and talked and comforted me all night, telling me many stories of her own life. Her name was Rose and we only had that one conversation, but it has stayed with me all my life. Billy Currington has many great songs, it would be a fun rabbit hole. He is from a little town not far from where we live, he is a big star in the area. As you drive into town they have a sign up that says "Home to Billy Currington" on the highway! :)
LOL!! Never heard this before. There was a guy like this in our town. Looked poor as dirt. All-natural- type of guy. Died, and yup, a millionaire. After all you folks have been going thru lately, what a tune to turn up! That's right Mel. Yup, keep the reactions coming. We all need that musical chill. Thanks!!
Shawn & Mel, your reaction just impacted me. It's beautiful to see 2 people break down the emotion of recognizing how much power we have to positively impact the lives of our loved ones, friends and even perfect strangers. We need so much more of this in our country right now, and personally I think we have it in us to do it. Will be watching more of my Brother and Sista from another Mother and Mista! 🙂
one of my favorite songs of all time...and Billy Currington had so many other great ones...you should check him out further..you wont be dissappointed.
This is why I love you both. Just like the song, the both of you speak so kind, send positive messages to us daily. It really dos make an impact and change your mood. You have no idea how much I appreciate it. Thank you
My family and I live in a very very small Wisconsin town. We chose to move here because of the gentle simplicity of the small town life. I rarely visit the bar here in town, when I do the conversations pretty much go this way. Great job guys!! Love you!!! Thanks!!
I knew a guy who was well off with over a 100 acres and several cars and a house. When he died he left it to the conservation office to be auctioned off and the money given to them. He didn’t give his kids a dime of it bc they never had anything to do with him. It’s kind of like the movie grand torino
Ok, instant fan here! It's true, country music has it's roots in great story telling. Love you guys, your reaction, your perspective, your fun... Much love to you all! Watch In Color by Jamie Jameson. Trust me. 😉
See what just taking time to listen and have a conversation with someone, regardless of who they are.... we serve an awesome loving God ❤️, Thank God for your reaction, love ya'll,hope ya'll have a blessed day 🙏
That conversation meant more to that man than anything, that’s why u have to be kind to everyone!!! Let me down easy and Good directions are my faves by Billy!!!
I'll be 40 2023 and work with some younger people at a restaurant and have them singing many songs from this guy to aqua, rock and metal to songs from the 90s jam regulators to texas legends
You guys are so great! You have fallen under the country music spell. This song is a great example of why; Such great storytelling! The reason I love the video too, is that the dark haired girl from the bar that the old man danced with, is the same girl with Billy at the end when he went back to see his grave. Almost like the old man introduced the two of them and played matchmaker! Love the reactions guys! Keep it up!
I’m retired from a sherif office. Our pistol range officer was letting Elvis security team practice. He was admiring the truck they were in. Turns out, it belonged to Elvis. A few days later they came back with the car with keys and title. One kindness
I love this guy's singing and I love this song, and y'all are great for doing this, thanks I watched a bunch of your videos tonight and y'all had me laughing tearing up a smiling again, Thanks
FINALLY!!!! Thank You for reacting to my main man BILLY! I have asked so many of them to check him out.....I saw him live, and he sounds exactly like the video. Billy is also the kindest person, and yes I got to speak to him personally, one of the best days of my life....THANK YOU!!!!!!
Oh wow! I was floating in the lake last weekend and listening to my playlist when this song came on...I thought to myself, this would be a great reaction song for y’all and others to listen to...and here y’all are! Loved your reaction!
You are impacting all of us I don't watch many things I didn't watch TV anymore tell you the truth and I stumbled across you guys and now you go to work with me I stick my headphones on and listen to your guys's reactions to things that I grew up with and it truly makes me feel good you have changed my whole mood I appreciate you both don't ever change
Thanks for reacting to this song. I live down the road from Nashville and love REAL country music. This is one of only a few songs made in the last twenty years that I love. I'm not crazy about a lot of the so called country singers of the past twenty years but this guy is one of the good ones. This song has old country class.
Thanks for sharing this moving story!! I think the moral of the story was... the people your closest to aren't always the ones who look after you the most.
Great reaction...Im crying along with you Mel!!1 :) Like you said, you never know what people are going thru and just need a ear to listen. We love you 2, Ive been watching you 2 for the past year, your reactions have impacted me in a great way. Thank you guys so much, keep up the great work!!!!
It's good to see that you two are doing well. I have a lot of subscriptions now and the rotation is long in between. Good reaction. Thanks for sharing. Stay well.

Old wise men become old and wise by gradually becoming old and wise. Listen to them. They have amazing stories.

@@_BAD_MERC_ 💯 correct
My barber who I went to for the last 26 years passed this year. It feels so weird going into that building without him there
@@seanwillis1116things like that will lead you to cut your own hair
When we realize that respect, love and honor is earned and not an inheritance; then and only then will we be deserving of such things.
Love how genuine and unique both of your expressions are as you take this musical journey. I can see when you feel the music. GOD is great, beer is good, and people are crazy.
Country Music is one of the BEST for telling a story, I don't care what anyone says.
Nobody worth their salt says different

Wow. Thank you for posting. 👍
Amen. We need more of this. People are starting the become selfish
Tis true brother
Country music is one of the best ways to tell a story ❤️

Billy Currington has a song called " Walk A Little Straighter " which it's about his father who was an alcoholic, it's a tear jerker
Grew up in effingham where he's from.went to same elementary school.hes big around here.
My favorite song by Billy Currington.....
Billy Currington is a good country singer from Georgia.
Love this story, it pays to be nice to everyone, you never know.......but he is right "God is great, beer is good, and people are crazy" !!!
A stranger made more of an impact on him than his own children.
An act of kindness and friendship is never wasted...
Love Billy Currington! One of my favorite songs. ♥
What a great song you never know who you meet in life and how they can change your life

My family and I live in a very very small Wisconsin town. We chose to move here because of the gentle simplicity of the small town life. I rarely visit the bar here in town, when I do the conversations pretty much go this way. Great job guys!! Love you!!! Thanks!!
Billy Currington - Do I Make You Wanna
Billy Currington is fricken awesome, all of his songs are number 1 hits but never is nominated for any awards, doesn’t get the recognition he deserves
Facts! Perfectly said

I would LOVE to see your reaction. To Billy Carrington Must be doing something right.
i tear up during that last verse too.
I knew a guy who was well off with over a 100 acres and several cars and a house. When he died he left it to the conservation office to be auctioned off and the money given to them. He didn’t give his kids a dime of it bc they never had anything to do with him. It’s kind of like the movie grand torino
