Terry from Austin, TxThank you Brett in Des Moines, IA - This is Terry Bullard.and it is nice to see when people recognize my music.This is actually my favorite fiddle piece. Cas from Iron City, GaI love the fiddle in Amarillo By Morning.George Strait is a member of the PRCA and hosts a heading/heeling contest every fall. Mark from Rochester, NyYes Ken, this song was written by Terry Stafford of 'Suspicion' fame.His voice breathes the perfect life into the song. But this song, 'Amarillo by Morning' is just beautiful lyrically, melodically, emotionally. Camille from Toronto, OhI'm not a big George Strait fan.Megan from Stevenson, AlOh my.I've always loved his music.

Jennifur Sun from RamonaGene Elders fiddle just makes this song.

And even more peculiar is that Schoppa came out with another song called: ' Does Fort Worth Ever Cross Your Mind' which was later covered by Strait! And the last & final record that Schoppa recorded & released on Bellaire was called ' Drinkin' Champagne' in which Strait covered him again! For a national artist to cover 3 of a local/ regional artist's songs like that is all but unheard of! It's just a shame that Strait NEVER gave Kelly any credit before his recent death!

Troy Hess from Houston,texasWhat most people do not realize is that Strait's version was directly influenced by a 1978 version by local Houston artist named Kelly Schoppa! In 78', Kelly's version, which was on the local Bellaire Records label here in Houston, was on just about every jukebox from Beaumont to El Paso, Galveston to Texarkana, & all parts in between! Straits goes as far as mentioning in an interview I read that : ' A local Texas artist had a regional hit on Amarillo, & we used to do it all the time!' The version Strait did back then was much more in line with Schoppa's version than his 1981 release on MCA.

Major Lance from Riverside, IlThe Mongolian Cowboy’s TV version was awesome!.

Lots of covers out there including George Strait of course.

Jack from SeattleI think Terry Stafford wrote this song.Tracey from Albuquerque NmThe verse Lost my wife and a girlfriend Was he cheating or he lost both during his time in the rodeo Where at one time he lost a Wife and another time a girlfriend?.And, of course, George Strait’s remake was fantastic. I was not a big fan of country music as a kid, but I remember thinking what a good song that was. It had to be Terry Stafford’s original version, as we were returning to Ohio from a long 4th of July weekend in 1974. It was on the radio as we passed through Louisville, KY. Gt from Peoria, IlI still remember the first time I ever heard this song.
