I too like all kinds of music, heavy metal Rock, blues, jazz and especially country music.
I have a record collection which includes the Hank Thompson's of the world and Merle
ole George Jones and more. I even have a copy of Blind Faith, remember them?
Early, Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker and company, along with many others.
I certainly didn't have the idea of killing myself and I played a lot of country music on the
radio. Over the years I found a lot of great friends and some special events and interviews.
Country music hasn't really changed people changed and the genre has had to adapt to
the changing listener The nice thing about country is that the young people are going back
to find the old artists from before their time. John Cash and a number of others get to live
again on the airwaves of time.
there are a lot of great writers as well. Ed Bruce, he wrote, If I die let me go to Texas with
Tanya Tucker and he also wrote The Last Cowboy Song, for Waylon and Willie but in reality
his version is better than Waylon's.
There are some great writers.

I was at the Balmertown Inn the other night and almost started a riot by trying to sweet talk the wrong girl... It was bad, i was standing on my own at the pool tables against 3 dudes. Then my fellow workers came rolling in on que almost and the situation was neutralized without a single fist being thrown :lol:

I just heard "Cold Cold Heart" (Hank Williams signature song) being mutilated by Jerry Lee Lewis, such a desecration and should be declared criminal. I'm sure Hank is doing flips in his grave!
