“THE YOUNG ONES” by Des Kelly “Who’s gonna fill their shoes”?, is the title of a “Country Song”, recently recorded, asking a relevant question about many great Country-Music “Stars” passing-on, as everyone has to do, at one time or another. Well, with people such as Johnny Cash, George Jones, & Merle Haggard “gone” in the recent past, Ray Price & Marty Robbins, a little while ago, Patsy Cline & Tammy Wynette, joining “their Men”, on Heaven’s Stage, plus other great female Country Stars, I suppose the question asked is quite a reasonable one. Luckily, there ARE a few of “The young ones”who will hopefully fill the shoes of “the greats”in the Country Music I term “the best”, only because, there have been eras of this music, now long gone, that are termed “Corny”, or “Country & Western”, or even “Hillbilly” , quaint terminology for Country Music. Personally, it does not ...

“THE EXPATRIATES’ SONG” by Des Kelly      Written exclusively for all expatriates from Sri Lanka. Born in a Country that was supposed to be THE former Garden of Eden, this particular “expatriate”personally saw the massive”changes” from the halcyon CEYLON of the 30’s, where “life” was uncomplicated,inexpensive, easy to live, in every imaginable way. First & foremost, it was a Country with NO Seasons. Waxing lyrical, Eternal Summer, golden wind-swept beaches surrounding it, palm trees, like no other, fruit trees, like no other, as well, bearing fruit like the mangosteens, rambutungs, bananas (of multiple variety), unheard of, in any other similar Country, the beli-fruit, which bore the adage “Beli-kanakota, bada-yanawa, Bada-yanakota, beli-kanawa”in Sinhala, or “When you eat beli, your belly discharges, when you THEN eat beli, your belly recharges”, in other words, this “fruit” will help you avoid constipation, but if you keep “stuffing-yourself”, as a lot of Sri Lankans do, all the ...

“A RAY OF HOPE” – By Des Kelly He was a “ray of hope”, at what price ?. Yet another “Star”, of the best music in the World, as far as I am concerned, anyway, His name ?, Ray Price, of course. Many “rays of hope” in the “Country-World” of America, shone for a while, then faded, to a dull “glow”, only because there were so many aspiring Artistes in that field of music, one had to be “extra-special” not only to “find” a host of “Star-followers”, but, more importantly, to “keep”these “fans” in high pursuit of their ‘Icons”. “Women first, even to the gallows” was an adage I recall from younger days. Growing up, the names Patsy Cline, Tammy Wynette, Loretta Lynn and Anita Carter, stood out because of the fact that they always performed perfectly, with their individual “styles” in presenting a “Country- Song”. Dolly Parton not only ...

“THE JONES’ BOY” – By Des Kelly Hot on the heels of Ray Price, is another confirmed favourite of mine, incidentally, the favourite of millions of Country Music Fans, throughout this planet, the name of George Jones stands out like a beacon, and yet, there was not “much” of this Music Legend, nicknamed “the possum” for this very reason. A “little guy”, huge “rebel” & “Super-Star”, served in the American Marines, making it obvious to those around him, that here was another “classic Country Star, in the making, and proving, beyond doubt that this was the case indeed. In an Era when there were so many Country Music Geniuses to contend with, it must have been something of a nightmare to try to figure out which songs to record, in order to have a “hit”in the business known as “Country”. American Country Music has always been noted for being far ahead ...

“THE MAVERICK IN ME” by Des Kelly Talking about great music, many many years ago, in Melbourne, Australia, a female “fan” of mine, going back to the days in Ceylon, who endeared herself to me by loving the same music I loved (music that was tuneful, exciting to listen to, &, in fact, music to make love, to), suddenly made herself reappear, with a “cassette-recording” of this “‘group” called the Mavericks, handed it to me, with a smile, and said…. “Desmond, listen to this band, they have been unheard of, until now & as soon as I heard it, I had the feeling that you would be hooked too” I said “thank you, An-oops, Angel, first chance I get, I will listen to them. I am sure that they will be extra–special, as you have been, for bringing it to me.” Angel then left, leaving the devil in me to ...

“A ROSE”(In the snow) – by Des Kelly Shirley Myers of Canada wrote the song, presumably with boyfriend, Rod Nicholson & recorded it, many moons ago, in Nashville. The Song, Artiste, Recording, in total, has not got the recognition it truly deserves. Shirley has a “true” Country voice, simple, still beautiful, the song, presumably written by herself & boyfriend, Steel-guitarist Rod, is exactly what a good “Country-Song” should be, totally listenable, beautiful “life-like” lyrics & a recording that I love. All my readers of eLanka are now aware, that when I pick a “song”, any song, vocal or instrumental, it will be the very best that 75 years of experience in the “Music” business can muster. I KNOW a good song, & “A rose in the snow” is certainly one of them. In addition, this song, & “story” are dedicated to another “Rose”, whose name was “Dawn”. I have written ...
