FAR better-looking than the "Skelton" variety!
For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow. Ecclesiastes 1:18
He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: and the fool become servant to the wise of heart. Proverbs 11:29
...Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Matthew 25:40

I miss Skeeter, Waylon and ten cent cokes............
The two books mentioned by Skeeter, "Good Freinds, etc." and Hoglegs, Jalapeno's, etc." I thought sounded very familiar. I remebered where I had put them, if I had them, and when I went to one of my bookshelf's, there they were. I got a s__t eatin' grin on my face and removed them from the shelf. As soon as I finish the book I'm reading, they're next in the que. I think they're first editions....if there was more than one printing. Thanks for posting the thread. It brings back a lot of good memories.
Skeeter Davis died way too young as well.

Skeeter and the writers of his era were before my time, but their works definitely speak to me.
I'm slowly collecting their books, but they're getting harder to come by and really quite expensive!
I just went to SmileAmazon to check on the Skeeter books to see if they were available. They are available, but very expensive. However, the real shock was the price on a hardcover copy of "No Second Place Winner" by Bill Jordon. It is listed at $1008.00 plus shipping. Glad I bought my copy decades ago when Jordon was still with us.
I stumbled on a copy of Elmer's "Big Game Hunting" at a flea market. The book itself is in very good condition; the dust jacket is not.
$5
Sometimes you get lucky.
As I mentioned,, I have Skeeter's books,, and,,, I also have Bill Jordan's "No Second Place Winner" in HB. $1008,,,,,,,, WOW!!!!!!! I don't think they would sell at that price,, but still,, if it's an indication of anywhere close to value,, (even half that,) is quite amazing.
I met a person who claimed to have a copy of Skeeters wifes "I Remember Skeeter". I saw the advanced order ads in Shooting times but never bought one. I was with the belief that they never went to print.
