Been some time since I posted here on my blog and I guess Face Book has been a part of the reason but I guess I've been lazy as well.
Well here we are April 2011, Japan oozing radiation, the world at a crossroads, seems like 1945 again. I know it is simplistic but turning on a country music radio station not too much has changed over the years.
Yes, the songs are produced slicker than those put together when Lefty Frizzell was in front of the microphone. The bands use electric instruments unlike their bluegrass cousins. But there is still a honesty about Country Music that is hard to find in other music today. For example Thompson Square " You Gonna Kiss or Not"

People used to say I was nuts in the 80's listening to Country. But I defer to Duke Ellington when asked about music the Duke has been quoted "There are two kinds of music the good and the rest"
