Sorry about the above. Got too eager and hit the return key. However, thanks for the comments. It appears that 'real' Country & Western music has been hijacked, or sidelined in favour of the stuff that will sell to the masses and makes big bucks for the corporations. I have heard (a little) of people like Hank Williams, Willie Nelson,and the like, who seem to me to purvey a more earthy, 'real life' sort of music than the pop songs which the Nashville crowd seem to deliver. It's good to know though, that there is still some good 'Cowboy Music' out there for those who wish to find it.

Regards
Andy
