@drakeshooter It took me years to finally watch that movie. And it really opened my eyes as a Christian, that what all Jesus went through for us. And he would’ve done it all even for just one person.

I’ve never watched it but I will now. I’ve been told that the crucifixion scene is so powerful it has a deep and profound affect on most people. I’ve got an old girlfriend from Hopkinsville who said she never got it out of her mind and didn’t want to.

Yes, it’s hard to watch honestly. And heartbreaking but I’m glad I watched it.

Jimmy Walker was a big Trump supporter. My in-laws drove up to Tampa and saw him do standup back in 16. I bought a T-shirt with a pic of him that says “Dynomite!” but my daughter gets embarrassed when I wear it.

The rest of the story.

In 1969, while staying at the Fort Worther Motel in Fort Worth, Texas, Waylon Jennings saw an advertisement in a newspaper promoting Tina Turner as a "good hearted woman loving two-timing men", a reference to Ike Turner. Waylon went to talk to Willie, who was in a middle of a poker game, about writing a song based on that phrase. Joining the game, he and Nelson expanded the lyrics as Willie's wife Connie Koepke wrote them down.

Waylon recorded the song for the first time as the title track of his 1972 album "Good Hearted Woman" and the accompanying single peaked at number three on the Billboard's Hot Country Singles. In 1975, Waylon remixed the song, adding vocals from Willie (and adding fake crowd noise to give it a live feel) for the album Wanted: The Outlaws!. The album cemented the pair's outlaw image and became country music's first platinum album. This remixed version of the song peaked at number one on Billboard's Hot Country Singles and at number 25 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song won the Single of the Year award in the 1976 Country Music Association Awards.

Do those produce cherries or are they just a purdy tree?

Ornamental only, no fruit.

When I was a young kid maybe 5 or 6 we moved back to Murray after dad got out of the army and rented a house for a year that had a huge old cherry tree that was absolutely covered in cherries. I remember we went to town and got a bunch of freezer bags so we could get to picking the bounty after lunch as they were ripe and ready to go. During the middle of eating there was a hella noise outside that lasted a few minutes and when my dad finally went to check it out the tree was covered up in blackbirds. By the time he got out there and unloaded his double barrel there was maybe a half gallon of cherries left. I remember my dad cussing like a sailor, saying “Those $&@#% birds spit the seeds out on the ground!” Lmao, he hated blackbirds to the day he died.

Mine came from a nursery as well, down toward Bowling Green from here. I planted 3 and all 3 have done well.

Back around 1985 I was at an old house that had a bunch of cherry trees along the yard. It had some of the nicest looking cherries.
There was young saplings all over the place. I dug a few of the up and transplanted in my yard. I only owned a trailer and lot at that time.
When we moved from there to my first farm those trees had grown and was putting out the cherries.
I guess we were so excited to move to my new farm that we forgot to dig some of those tress. I really wish we had dug some of them. They would start from seeds falling on the ground.
