Myers, Fl...I am 34 years old and I have now written over 80 country, metal, rock and blues songs (lyrically) inspired by his lead....Bud was Black listed from the industry shortly after the release of Big Bertha but if you listen close... bands like the Sawyer Brown were definately given this song to hear like a demo as a basis for showing put together bands what talent really was... Sad part is they heard the demo changed one lyric and tried to cut the song the way my uncle sang it...Then they reaped the rewards !! As a writer I feel that keeping this type of music alive is a preservation of our past and what they have today is not REAL county !! Bud's real name is William and he has been called Bud since childhood - he was the first son of a family of seven children born to Willie G. Brewer (1997 dec.)and Katherine (Maples) Brewer (2004 dec.)...Bud now quietly resides in Florida with his wife - he had two children in his life who have now passed on Bambi Brewer (1980 dec.) and Kelly Brewer (2003 dec.). My uncle is a GREAT man and I am so glad to see that TRUE county music fans are still keeping his music alive 35 years later !! I write in the spirit of my legendary uncle hoping to bring back the songs we have lost about trucks' trains, prisons, drinking, and Maw Maw and Paw Paw's<BR/>Thank you for posting his music on your site ! :-)<BR/><BR/>Sweet MelissaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6672539.post-1105509580792856422005-01-11T23:59:00.000-06:002005-01-11T23:59:00.000-06:00wow...i dunno about other genres outside of truck,...wow...i dunno about other genres outside of truck, 'n' trains...ummm, labor songs maybe. prison gang songs. if someone knows or thinks of anything, lemme know. i'll post the results.Brian K Reesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03774223242173267278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6672539.post-1105382432299280312005-01-10T12:40:00.000-06:002005-01-10T12:40:00.000-06:00Wow. this is soo great.

Truckin' Thursdays! even if only a few times a month I think that's a great idea. <br /><br />Cool find with the Bertha record, thanks for sharing.<br /><br />btw -- Is it just truckers, or do other trades have a canon of anthems? Railroad engineers and cowboys come to mind, but there's gotta be others.... That's prolly a whole blog in itself.<br /><br /> ~AKDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6672539.post-1105106990882466452005-01-07T08:09:00.000-06:002005-01-07T08:09:00.000-06:00A request!!! and yr request shall be granted...st...A request!!! and yr request shall be granted...stay tuned next thursday...truckin' thursday. thankyavermuch.Brian K Reesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03774223242173267278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6672539.post-1105055930091770392005-01-06T17:58:00.000-06:002005-01-06T17:58:00.000-06:00Nice.
