I've really got to make time to come hang out with you, Del.

For the beer? Or do you need a stall horn fixed?

I wonder, would it be a major alteration to install a horn that plays Dixie? Or, "I like beer, it makes me a jolly good fellow....."

Ya'll have to excuse me, I just got back from the doc for a lower back problem. He gave me a shot of something to "loosen" me up, so I could crawl up on the xray table. Ask me if I had somebody that I could call to drive me home

I'll bring the beer if you'll bring the Tom T. Hall records...

It's a deal! Although you'll have to settle for the classic country station on satellite radio; I don't have any Tom T records

If you will dial in channel 13 on XM to Willie's Place you can get authentic country music. Music you can understand the works with fiddles, steel guitars, etc.

YUK! Don't you guys ever get tired of whinny cowboys.

Not when its Willie Nelson, Ray Price, Bob Wills, Earnest Tubb, George Jones, George Strait, Jody Nix, Hank Thompson, Johnny Bush, Tom T Hall, Fiddling Frenchy Birk, et al

I'm with you Frank! Only I find myself on Roadhouse (XM 10) more often than Willie's Place. Who could not like a song that starts out "I love little baby ducks, old pickup trucks, slow moving trains, and rain." I guess you had to be raised on it to appreciate it...

If that guy "lowNslow" actually lives in Carmel, CA., it is understandable that he says "Yuk" to real American music. I have been led to understand that they have a city ordinance there that prohibits playing or listening to country music anywhere inside the city limits under penalty of forced banishment from the community. They have, over the years, had an annual guitar burning festival each fall. When the world famous "Spaghetti Western" movie star was elected Mayor, locals went into mourning for a lengthy period and some of them never did recover.

Unfortunately, the ban doesn't bar whinny cowboys only "amplified" whinny cowboys - but it's a start.

Seems like I remember that former mayor of Carmel referred to by blueldr once upon a time played in a movie and sang a song that might be classified as a country ballad. I think he also occasionally played a cowboy, but not a whiney one.

I think country music causes irreversible brain cell damage. Know what you get when you play country music backwards? You get your ex wife back, momma gets out of jail and the dog doesn't get hit by a train.

how many country singers does it take to change a light bulb? 4, one to change the bulb and 3 to sing about the old one

pretty good idea from a safety standpoint though - if my stall warning alerted me with Slim Whitman I'd be motivated to fix the situation and make it stop asap

So there's no hope for me; in addition to the "whiney cowboys", I just as often enjoy the occasional cranked-up AC/DC tune. (High School and college in the 1970's. What can I say?)

Presets on the XM band of my car radio: (Music only. The talk channels would start another whole debate... )

Ch7: 70's on 7
Ch10: Roadhouse
Ch13: Willie's Place
Ch46: Classic Vinyl
Ch55: Margaritaville
Ch74: Bluesville

Just so everybody knows, I like both kinds of music, country AND western.

And I only listen to one type of talk radio because the other type went broke.

Same here, I like most pre-80's classic country and classic rock. Don't care for much of anything produced since. But, Miles, does that make me 'old fashioned', or narrow minded? (High school in the 80's)

O'boy, what did I start

Probably a little bit of both... we have to be to appreciate airplanes that are older than we are, and tend to swap ends when you aren't paying attention. I'm right there with ya!
