Tyson is very good. My favourite song by Johnny Cash is "I still miss someone"- I guess I overlooked one of the greatest of them all.......Roy Acuff.

Just heard a catchy little tune on the radio that I haven't heard before by
Stompin' Tom - "There's an empty stool beside a fool in J.R.'s bar tonight"

I know what you mean, for years I considered this modern stuff to be pseudo country and western. A lot of us guys who thought songs like "There's a tear in my beer" was the real Mccoy agree.

I like y'all, a lot, and it's only because of that love that I must once again warn you, my fellows, about the detrimental effects of country music on the family and national fabric. As you know I have called for and supported a global awareness campaign to ban the form all together. Please don't let me interrupt the thread any longer. PLEASE STOP CWM
