His "Okie-speak" ain't too good..

Funny thing about that song Sapper, it was a big hit amongst us "redneck/cowboy/truckdriver types" when I was in 'Nam.

That was back in the day before I let my hair get all long and hippy like.

Unlike Herr Falcon, I cut all mine off in '01. Had a burr haircut till I met my sweety. Got tired of long sweaty hair gettin in my face when I was working in the hot and humidity. It was nice to wash my hair with a wash-rag.. ( warsh rag to you Falkky)
