A “KELLY-KLASSIC” – by Des Kelly – “Merle Haggard – I Forget You Everyday” He died on his 79th birthday, always has been, in my opinion, on the “top” rung of the Country Music ladder, Astronauts heading for the moon chose his music to accompany them on their long trip, and today, some Merle Haggard songs & “the man in the moon” are in close proximity of one another. Listen to this song, people. Every word, as clear as crystal, lyrics & music written by Merle, who is also a superb guitarist and “Country Fiddler”. He will never be forgotten. ...

“Kelly Klassic” Borrowed Angel – by Des Kelly Written and recorded in 1972 by Mel.Street, we now have a positive reason as to why Country Music will never die. Singing this song that tells a story, that happens all around the World, a youngster in Country Music, by the name of Mo Pitney, comes clean on his Borrowed Angel. Pitney was a keen follower of Stars such as Merle Haggard and George Jones, and, like them, vocalises brilliantly, where every lyric can be heard very clearly. Like other members of e’Lanka, who do enjoy this type of music, all I can say, is “Lets go, with Mo Pitney”. Desmond Kelly. (Editor-in-Chief) e’ Lanka. ...

“Willie Nelson – It’s Hard to Be Humble” – by Des Kelly Another Kelly-Klassic. Willie Nelson (will he or won’t he)?, one of the last remaining Country Greats, sings a song that proves he is not only good at what he does, he provides a much needed chuckle from those who are backing him, as he sings & plays his old, beat-up acoustic guitar which he named Trigger, and stores, in a well guarded bank, because, believe it or not, it was bought in 1969 for $450, but is presently worth close to $10.000, being the personal property of the great Willie Nelson, himself. Willie Nelson is the only Vocalist I know, that can sing, completely out of musical cadence, and yet correct this, to finish his song in perfect rhythm. He is also a superb guutarist, and I feel sure that our e’Lanka members will love this one. He ...

“GUESS WHO” – by Des Kelly Another Kelly-Klassic. Reminded me so much of someone who once stood on stages, both in Lanka and Australia and sang his heart out, for anyone who would listen. Yes folks, it was ‘your’s truly’. I was well-known as a singer/guitarist in Ceylon (then), for nigh on twenty years, hardly ever seen without an old acoustic guitar, slung around my shoulders, singing songs whenever and wherever I was needed, never worrying about the money I could have earned, simply because money (in Showbiz), never did mean very much to me. My “payment” was in the applause I received from audiences both large and small. However, music gained me many ‘lurks’, not afforded others. Lurks such as Shore-leave granted me, whenever the Officers of the Royal Ceylon Navy in which I served, were instructed by the Captain of the Navy, Rear Admiral Royce de Mel, to ...
