So I started listening to this 'copy' of that enormous hit...

The rest of my text (mainly compliments on what terrific song you made, great lyrics and so on) I skipped.
I feared the red warning would skip it too, for the same reason Chat got.

I enjoyed listening to it, but still am curious for that demo. So just post it, will you?

Hans


Thanks, Hans...

Like it a lot. The singer that came to my mind isn't one of the hat guys, though. I imagined Billy Currington put his polish on this in his understated way. But I'm sure there some of those hat acts who would like to get their hands on this one.

As always... splendid music!

Thanks, Alan.
Currington is an interesting choice. His earlier stuff was good (People Are Crazy) - but, man! an lot of people hated his last album (mostly those who don't want Country to change at all).






"People Are Crazy" is my favorite song by him. And the video is so damn good. As far as country changing ... almost all genres of music change as society changes - music is a reflection of those changes. It'll probably always be that way. A lot of those who don't want country music to change say "That crap they're playing today sure as hell ain't country music". Well, it is - it's just today's country. And every generation will repeat that same old line about today's music verses what they grew up with.

My father said "Country music has gone to hell, when the Grand Ole Opry allowed drums on stage (thanks Ernest Tubb and Jack Greene!). What he was complaining about is what folks these days call "good ole classic country music".

Rock is the same. The Monkees and Dave Clark five don't sound a lot like today's rock. And so it goes.

I love the country music days of Merle Haggard, Buck Owens, Lynn Anderson, Tammy Wynette, etc. That's what got me started making a good living playing guitar. But it's time has come and gone, just like the cycles in all music.

Okay, off my soap box - headed back top my office. wait ... I'm already in my office!


I enjoyed your soapbox. There is actually a LOT of new Country music that I like - every bit as much as I like the "old stuff"...
