Subject: RE: How to write a country song --TIPS PLEASE?
I think I'll maybe just let Hank write it. You don't see all that manure and all those pick-up trucks on the Country Music Awards. It all sounds a bit unsavoury. I think Hank must be right just don't have the right background.

I did try and write one for a laugh about a year ago but it turned out to be quite a good song? I would post it here but I'm sure that someone could take it to Nashville and make a lot of money from it. The whole point about country songs is that we know they are bad and that's what make them good. If that makes sense?

I mean 'She's in love with the Rodeo Man' is 'soooo' corny but I just love to sing it!

I have enjoyed reading all the tips though, please keep sending them in.
