He DaSleeper- any idea of alternate names of Misissippi John Hurts "My loving spoonful"?? I recall it being called a few different things and I can't find any of them anywheres (and I lost the only John Hurt CD I had dammit)

That guy was an awesome anti-bluesman almost- lived a fairly plain life, wrote tunes about being happy and stuff, and was a killer player to boot

Country music, by and large, tend to be more patriotic.'

Toronto and vicinity is more of the kind that could not care less about Canada.

Maybe it is because almost everyone mixes terms like country and western. Some country is good western on the other hand is all bad.
Kind of like calling rap rock music. It is neither.

I played at a biker bar in Calgary this past weekend. We did a lot of classic rock but it was the country music that got them on the floor. Go figure.

I've been to a few places in Ontario where country music rules. Not so much in the bigger cities but in the rural areas.
