A Hu-Dad Age Test – Hee Haw

Hu-Dad was watching us inside Sibe Quentin and was reminiscing about the TV show, Hee Haw. We think that just means he is old.

Maybe Hu-dad belongs on the senior porch with us.

In particular, Hu-Dad thought of Archie Campbell and Buck Owens doing their classic skit, “Pfft, You Were Gone.” The lyrics changed each week, but the chorus remained the same wondering where their true love had gone (and thus the title and the memorable line). It was just one of those silly skits that variety shows were famous for, but it never failed to make Hu-Dad laugh.

And why was Hu-Dad thinking about that skit and that show?

Are you suggesting a resemblance?

P.S. – Sorry, but Hu-Dad is a real stickler about copyright and could not find a link to a legal copy of the song to embed on our website. However, feel free to jump over to YouTube and you will find several examples of the song. You know, just in case you are younger than Hu-Dad and have no idea what he is talking about.

    Show predates me, but I still know what you’re talking about. But I don’t think it applies! I don’t care how old Kiska gets, she looks the same all the time with that long hair!

    I searched the world over and thought I found true love. You met another and pfft you were gone. Yes sir I watched every week too. I was just a kid, but that show will stay with me forever. Ahh the memories. Hugs and kisses to the herd.
