OK, I'm not a mother. However, surprisingly, I was a little son once. This really resonated with me, such a terrific thought, so well expressed, so well performed. Thanks Penny for a fabulous request, and thanks Don for another A1 reaction!
I remember Melba, singing with George Jones, when I was a kid back in the late 60's+early 70's, I noticed you were surprised how quick the song ended back in those days song's were most of the time limited to 3min. Or just over because of play for radio station, that has changed through the years
Thanks Penny for the great request. I haven't heard Melba since the 80's, when I played her at the station. The song really makes you stop and realize how much our mom's do and sacrifice for us
I loved this song! What a great request, Penny - thank you! I went through this when my son was 7-12 yrs old. It taught him responsibility, work ethic and just plain respect for me. I worked 50+ hours a week and spent my free hours doing things with him rather than cozying up with a book to escape the grind for a few hours. He didn't appreciate it when he did a half-a## job and I docked his allowance accordingly...🙂 He appreciates it now and has a great work ethic! I've tried to kick him out the house for about the last 14 years but he refuses to move out. He say's "You took care of and loved me for 20 yrs, so now it's my turn." I have several disabilities and he knows some things are beyond my capabilities, so he works hard and takes care of me now...no charge. Thanks again, Penny and Don for a great reaction/thoughts and for the respect you show the ladies! I'm all for doing things for myself as I've always believed I should (especially when I could) in doing things myself, but I sure appreciate it when anyone holds a door for me. Both of us do things for others, especially for elderly folks (even though I am one!) It's a sign of respect, kindness and consideration. And it should be an instinct - not even a thought. Again, thanks for a great song/reaction!
@JLGWW2022 That just shows you - you are a good mother and taught them well. Those qualities are something to be proud of and if you don't mind my saying so, from reading some of your comments, you did a great job despite what you were going through during some difficult, tough times in your life! You are a beautiful lady!
My comment took ahold this time so I will rewrite it . This song hit me strong had never heard but came across it on you tube . Reminded me of my love for my son and my Moms love for me . My mom passed in 1990. My son was born 1984. thanks for reacting Don .
My father didn't believe in allowances, but at the same time, if we needed money for something and there was money to spare, we got it. I'm older than you and have 3 older brothers and as for chores, it was I could take the trash out as well as they could and they could wash dishes, probably better than I could. We didn't have 'boy chores' or 'girl chores', being the only girl, it wouldn't have been fair. PS: my brothers did start earning their own money with paper routes at about 12 years old.
@@RockN2Country I forgot to mention thanks for thanking me for standing by your channel its my pleasure I am starting to feel like I am a part of a family as you notice I am more comfortable now to I comment lot more often .
@Edward Phillips how about this. My mom is long since passed. We talked about all this when she was still here. Mostly we laughed but if you knew my mom, you would understand my comment.

I remember when this song came out. Always loved this song
So I cried again like I do every time I hear this song.

I can't through the first minute of this song without a lump forming in my throat. I've always loved this one.

I love that with your sons respect for you and taking care of now . Blessings to you

I've never heard of Melba, but I really like this song. Very traditional country. Great request, Penny. Great reaction, Don.

Heard this many times but never knew who sang it oh boy now I know who sings it, what a story, put it all together and there it is, wow great one

Written by the great Harlan Howard. Melba had some success in the 60s and 70s. She definitely could. Just listen to how she talks
I’d love to see you react to George Jones and Melba Montgomery’s “We Must Have Been Out Of Our Minds”
good song as well
wanted to add thanks Don for your respect for women . love that "old school_"attitude
@Penny Hedlund Thank you for the kind words, Penny-they are heartfelt and so appreciated. :-)
@@RockN2Country ypur welcome

14.75 was the grand total.
@DaveG Good catch!!
This one always makes me misty; have you talked to your mother, lately?
Amen
I talk to her several times a day - though she passed 30 years ago.
Hey Don; Jimmy Dean has a version called " I Owe You. Please review and rate this version.
To me it sounds like a guilt tripping mom squashing a young man's entrepreneurship. Just pay up. Haha
Hey Dave. Let’s try an experiment. Play this for your mom then show her “your” comment. I would be very interested in her response.
@Edward Phillips how about this. My mom is long since passed. We talked about all this when she was still here. Mostly we laughed but if you knew my mom, you would understand my comment.
My mom’s gone over ten years now. So will give you a “fair enough “! , a wink. Still love and miss you , Mom.
