Peter, I think you nailed it on the head as far as Country music is concerned.

Art: When I was growing up we referred to what we now call "Country" music as "Hillbilly" music. Then there was "Western" music as typified by Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, Jimmy Wakely, Eddie Dean, and folks like that. If you drew the line at the 1940s, you would be eliminating an awful lot of good Bob Wills, Pee Wee King, Ernest Tubb, Roy Acuff, Eddy Arnold, stuff (as well as many others), in my opinion.

I did think of one topic that cannot be discussed on the Mudcat though: Spaw's underwear. We can talk about his not wearing any of course, but that would be a mighty short thread.
