And if you're serious about buying new music like that on the forums, below are just a few forum folks who'd prolly sell you a CD or accept a $10 donation for downloading their songs! smile

Thanks for the shoutout smile FWIW, we finally gave in and have an album coming out on Amazon, Apple Music, Spotify, Pandora and others.

"Couple that with the fact that we have a million options vying for our free time that we didn't have when we were kids. Hundreds of TV channels instead of the 2 or 3 we used to have. Thousands of radio programs playing every kind of music you can imagine whereas we had just a handful of local stations when I was young. We have computers we can use to make our own music or play awesome games. And then there is The Internet with its almost unlimited access to free music and information and news and art and books and so on!"

I couldn't agree more with you regarding your comments about all the options. I find it amusing to be talking about the White Album from 50 years ago. I was 22 at the time the time of it's release. And 50 years ago back from then folks were still playing songs on cylinders! Time passes and things do change.

Again, as I alluded to in an above response, with all the options available we can carve out our little niche of interest and peacefully reside in it. Nobody is forcing or even pushing me to listen to anything that I do not care to check out. Heck, Wilco seems like modern rock to me smile We are having fun exploring that large Americana tent and have been listening to Americana since folks started calling it that 25 years ago. I've loved multiple genres of music since the 50's when I used to fall asleep listening to all night radio 50,000 watt stations. You'd hear rockabilly, country, western swing, blues, some raunchy blues (yes, very raunchy - sorta like what's upsetting folks now on a relative basis smile ), R&B and more. Then all the stations became compartmentalized. And now? I can turn to Apple Music anytime and hear curated playlists or radio stations that play a mixture of everything we like. Back to the future. All is good.
