OT: what's the country song Hey Hoaleena or something

I stand corrected! I should have known the version I heard in the 90s was just a re-make. Learn something new every day on here...

(quoted from post at 21:05:50 12/08/12) I sorta liked the artwork too. Bill
e, too, but the Air Force would frown upon it. :(
The Navy wouldn't. At least not the surface sailors! LOL

Memphis Belle & all the other ...gotta go!!!

Air Force Times (“Air Force-wide inspections begin today“):

Commanders and supervisors in all corners of the Air Force will conduct a widespread sweep of all work spaces and public areas starting today [Wednesday, December 5], looking for pictures, calendars and other materials that objectify women.

The order covers all active, reserve and Air National Guard units and must be completed by Dec. 17.

Pictures of scantily clad women in calendars, posters or in briefing slides have no place in a professional workplace, said Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Welsh, who ordered the service-wide health and welfare inspection.
 
Well, I watched Johnny Horton's version, been a long time since I have seen that many matchbook covers! (You older fellers know what I mean.) But as someone said, Moon Mullican recorded it back in the 50s, I have it on one of those old vinyl discs. I can't post a link, but just pull up Youtube-music and type in Moon Mullican-Cherokee Boogie. He was billed as the King of Hillbilly Piano Players, and he was pretty darned good too.
 
On the artwork--Is anyone's eyes better than mine? I kept trying to read the artist signature, but couldn't make it out! I was expecting Vargus, but it didn't look that short.
 




















I wish i knew how to do links. Type in Moon
Mullican Cherokee Boogie. Hank Williams has a
version of it also.

Yes the artwork is great.
I've had the girl with the hammer and sore thumb (22 seconds into the video)set as the picture on my computer monitor for about 5 years now.
The artists name is Gil Elvgren.

It's mentioned in the Tractor's Video here on You Tube. This is a great Song and Video. A must see!

The navy hasn't liked that stuff for some time. I remember a time in 90 we were instructed to remove all pictures from the workplace and even our racks. Not even a standard pic of the wife was allowed. Heaven forbid you had a pinup in the shop....and yes this was the surface navy.

I wouldn't want them to offend anyone either. It just wouldn't be right.
I have taken down all my pictures of tractors. LOL
