Thread Name: cowboy vs country vs western
Subject: RE: cowboy vs country vs western
Great set list! When Rog and I worked at KVOC Country/Western radio in Casper, WY, we played a lot of those very artists and songs...what I classify as "old time" because they came BEFORE the "pop"ification of what passes nowadays for C&W, most of which I despise.

I agree, Cowboy, to me refers more to the old tunes my dad would sing and play which I have on 78's, long before Autrey and others popularized them through motion pictures, BUT some of the later artists listed above also mean Cowboy to me, as well as Country. confused? Me, too!**bg**

More after I get Rog's take as he is much clearer about it and knows the formats better than I, plus I'll have more time, later. If I can get him to, I'll see if I can get Roger C. to post, too, as he has been a dj for umpteen years and knows this stuff backwards and forwards.

GoodonyaHomeless!
