Question for Boomer Castleman!

Post by Jerry Hayes »

Hey Boomer,
I have a recording of a tune called "Forget About It" by Suzy Boggus. The writer is listed as R.L. Kass who is a great guitar player. I just got Alison Krause's new CD of the same name which she just won a Grammy for. The same song on the CD is listed as being written by Robert Lee Castleman. I guess that's his real name. I was wondering if he was related to you by any chance?

I get a lot of undeserved credit for that song. Usually if they mention what a great song it is, I just nod. But I didn't write that one (I wish I had). I'm sure we're related somewhere down the road. All of our relatives are from north Tennessee and southern Kentucky. The bigger his royalty checks get, the more inclined I am to come out of the woodwork Image Best, Boomer

Yeah, I know what you mean Boomer, when Charley Rich had out the song "I keep on Rollin' with the Flow" it happened to be written by a guy named Jerry Hayes! But it wasn't me....
