A brief biographical release is included. I particularly like Johnny's distinction between "Cowboy" and "Country." There seem to be few of us left who remember the difference. John |

I got to see Johnny Western host the Midnight Jamboree back in February, with my hero Don Edwards on the bill. Man o man, was that EVER a show! While there may be a little bit of "cowboy" in "country," it's true they aren't the same, not by a long shot. |

Sometimes we forget that he (and Oatman - also mentioned in the article) are truly national personalities. Gotta start showin' more respect. John |
