Cardboard sign says "Yard Sale" Real estate sign says "sold"
Family picnic table holds all that it can hold
On the grass and on the sidewalk, well there must be half the town
Ain't it funny, how a broken home can bring the prices down
What ever became of Sammy Kershaw?
I ask that after listening to Kershaw's weepy "Yard Sale'' from the 1991 album "Don't Go Near the Water.''
A post at Amazon included this comment about the album: "My very favorite singer of any kind of music is George Jones. And this album will remind people of the type of songs George would sing; not to mention that Sammy's voice is strikingly similar on this album to George's. In fact, I know many people who were fooled. This is EXCELLENT!!!!''
Damn, I never heard this one. How could I have been in the dark for 18 years?
I only brought up "Yard Sale'' because it's Saturday morning and I'm about to make a "garagin' run'' to snag a few functional items for my new pad. But once I started thinking about that Possum-like voice I really did wonder about Sammy.
SSS is happy to report Kershaw is still touring, and proud to be your source for his upcoming schedule:
Nov. 14: Orleans County Fair, Cartersville, Ga.

If I spot a Sammy Kershaw album this morning I hope you know I'll be snapping it up.
