From the back cover: The last-minute assignment is often the one best filled. Below are the thoughts put forth by Charlie Dick on January 24, 1968, a he hurries to the Nashville airport for his next tour as Director Of Promotion for Starday Records. His assignment before departure – put forth in writing his thoughts about his very good friend, George Morgan. A man of few words, Charlie begins... Thought for the Day: George Morgan Good thoughts??

The Great Softball Player: George Tells everyone that he is a great softball player. After playing softball with George for three years, I find this is not true. (Bad thought). 

The Practical Joker: The stories go that George is a good practical joker. I know of the time that George was to stage a fake fight in a restaurant. The bouncer thought it was a real fight... and George got bounced. (Bad thought).

The Singer and Writer: George has written and recorded many great songs, I guess probably the biggest being "Candy Kisses". I think in this album you will find many more great ones. The title song, "Barbara", which is possibly his greatest since "Candy Kisses", and "I'm Just A Place" were written by A. L. (Doodles) Owens. Doodles say that one of his biggest thrills as a writer was to get George to record his songs. "No one could have done a better job," he said.

I think another one of George's better efforts in both singing and writing is a song called "Living". And as you listen to this album, I believe you, like me, will have to think... Good, Good, Good Thoughts!! – Charlie
