What a funny funky bunch of amazing songwriters! Makes me laugh a lot. I wished I had that fun at work :-D OK, sometimes I have ... maybe ... Willie would make a nice teacher... not waiting longer than three seconds for an answer, "Well, you had your chance..." I really laughed a lot ... This song "One time at a time, sweet Jesus", that Marijohn Wilkin wrote with a little help of Kris - this is an amazing song, really beautiful ... That's the story about her song told by Maryjohn Wilkin: She phoned Kris, who just was in town with Rita, that she had the second verse and the chorus of a new song but could not come up with a suitable opening. When she showed him how she started the song, "I'm just a mortal..." he looked at her, "Why don't you say, I'm only human, I'm just a man..." She, "That's good! That's what I need." And they finished the first verse in about 20 min. "The lines just flew out from each of us." And this Harlan Howard song is just great too ...

Harlan Howard (9/8/1927 - 3/3/2002) Most people knew Harlan Howard by the songs he penned - more than 4000 of them. In a career that spanned more than five decades, Harlan was one of Nashville's greatest and most prolific songwriters. More than 100 of his compositions became chart-toppers for artists such as Patsy Cline, Kitty Wells, Buck Owens and Ray Price. Harlan was the writer behind such standards as, I Fall to Pieces, Heartaches By the Number, I've Got a Tiger By The Tail and I Don't Know a Thing About Love. Harlan Howard was born in Lexington, Kentucky (9/8/1927) and his family moved to Detroit just two years later. Howard only completed nine years of formal education, though he was an avid reader. A devoted fan of the Grand Ole Opry radio show, Harlan began writing songs as a teen. After serving in the United States Army, he moved to California, gravitating towards the Bakersfield area (1955), hoping to sell his music. At the time, performers including Buck Owens and Wynn Stewart were developing the famed Bakersfield sound. Howard's fledgling compositional skills began maturing and artists like Tex Ritter and Johnny Bond started publishing his songs. After a few minor successes, Wynn Stewart recorded Howard's You Took Her off My Hands and virtually overnight his work was in hot demand. In 1958 his Pick Me Up on Your Way Down, was cut by Charlie Walker (No. 2, 1958) and in 1959, Kitty Wells scored with Mommy for a Day.

Harlan Howard was a country singer who wrote more than 100 Top 10 hits, including "I Fall To Pieces", "I've Got a Tiger By the Tail", "Call Me Mister In-Between", "Mary Ann Regrets" and "Heartaches By the Number." Artists who sang his songs include Kitty Wells, Patty Loveless, Patsy Cline, Buck Owens, Waylon Jenning, Dolly Parton, Glen Campbell, Conway Twitty, Ray Charles, Brenda Lee, Burl Ives and The Kingston Trio. This song was a hit for Johnny Cash (1963), and has since been recorded many times, some notable renditions being by Ray Charles (1963), John Conlee (1982) and Patty Loveless. The story goes that Loveless's husband (and producer), Emory Gordy Jr. had once said to Howard that "Busted" was such a great song, it would have been a nice twist if it had been about coal miners. Howard replied, 'You're not even going to believe this, but the original lyrics were about coal miners." He had actually rewritten the lyrics for Johnny Cash, removing the references to coal-mining as Johnny Cash knew more about cotton than coal. Patty Loveless, then, was the first to record Howard's original coal-mining song.
