Ken My Mother grew up between Halfway and Olton. I grew up over close to Sunnyside. We knew Jimmy Dean's father from a Church we went to down there.

My wife's Dad grew up in Littlefield and played in a band with Waylon Jennings until he (her Dad) died 50 years ago. My wife was 2 yrs old when he died. She also had a great aunt that used to live on the McEntire ranch in Oklahoma. This aunt sewed all of Reba's costumes when she first started performing for the public. When the aunt died we had the privilege of meeting Reba's parents at the funeral in Atoka, OK. We have also met Susie here in Muleshoe when she performed at the Assembly of God church here.

In my opinion, the kids since the early 80's do not even know what Country Music is. I think anything from the 50's thru late 70's is good dancing music. I love the older stuff from 50's that was before my time, but also never hear about any of them that was around when I was growing up, like Johnny Rod. Donna Fargo, Jeanne Pruitt, Charley Pride. I say aftern there time at end of the 70's, there has been very little good music since then.

Ken
Will you be at the Plainview show on the 20th and 21st?

If you are look me up, I will have a 1940 JD B and a 1968 JD 112 garden tractor there. Most likely will see me with my 2 yr old grandson on the 112, it is his, so I am sure he will be driving it around (with my assistance).

I have all the respect in Roy. Not that I'm into him so much, but I can sit there and watch and listen to that boy bend a set of .08's on a hollow body Gibson ES for hours. No words, just bendin them strings without a whammy bar. Kind of like watchin and listenin to Les Paul. Not my favorite songs, but leave the words out, and bendin them guitar strings like he, they do...magic. Pure magic. They were blessed with that natural talent, good ears, and heart that's for sure.

While I like to listen to old country every now and again; I could listen to George Strait all day long.

If you could rap like the flight attendant on CNN news this morning, they might put <em>you</em> on TV.

If the song dont have momma, getting drunk, jail, trains and trucks it aint country.The old singers entertained by singing the new cant sing so they make videos.The exceptions are few but among them Strait, Jackson and of course the daddy of them all Jones.

REAL country music is the working beller of a well tuned old tractor or the chant of a good country auctioneer.

Hey Ken, I watch that program all the time,and evan record it so I can watch it again later.It's good to see the old timers do it the way it used to be. How those "Osborn Bros." doing "Kentucky" brings tears to your eyes..Jim in N M

But more specially the old country singers from the forties and fifties. But what I don't understand is why some of the "good" young singers don't stand in the spotlite for very long. Like George Strait, Alan Jackson, and the likes. It just seems to me that the old guys lasted so dang much longer than any of the new bunch that started "say in the late sixties until now". I'd bet money that if Earnest Tubb was still alive he'd still be belt'n them out whether anyone listened or not. Porter Wagoner put out another album "the best I've ever been" just before he died, and this was just before he was classified as an antique. I know the younger bunch got their sack full a lot faster than the old guys, but was it all about money and nothin else?
