Justa, What's this "... carry special pills which automatically change your blood type in case of any female fan paternity suits.." stuff?  Since when does "country star"  imply "MALE"???

But 4-5 chords?  Gee, that's a LOT o' chords for one song, dontcha think?  [Try 3--4, at the outside--, less'n yuh count 7ths as new chords.]  But don't never use no augmented or diminished chords or 6ths or major 7ths or anythaing like that.

I agree about Dolly, too, Stewie.  She's written some purty danged good songs, & she plays purty good, too--specially for having those fingernails!  Voice ain't half bad, neither.

LH, a lot of today's "country" artists [e.g., Faith Hill, Shania Twain, and to a lesser extent, Vince Gill and Clint Black] don't even bother with the "nasal twang" half the time.
 

Don F., I actually saw the results of a makeover some folks did for Tammy Faye on TV.  She really did look a lot better after the makeover [the opposite of the usual "makeover" -- mainly they removed layers], but she did not look happy with the results, despite the audience's strong approval of the new look.  She went back to her old 'style' almost immediately.

Patty, I couldn't agree more about the Dixie Chicks!  Fine musicians, all three of 'em, and great entertainers, too!
