Thank God that trout, salmon, steelhead and bass are predators of

Hank Williams- "Your Cheating Heart", "Jambalaya", "Cold Cold Heart", "I
Saw The Light" etc. I have a lot the guys above as well as Tex Ritter and
Hank Thompson , these guys defined country music as far as I'm concerened.
They were recording great songs long before some of the disco singer with
cowboy hats were kicking the slats out of their craddles.
Hank Thompson recorded "Oklahoma Hills" a song that is more of an anthem
than "Okie from Muskogee" is for Okies and Sooners, the best version was
recorded by Gene Autry.

It's impossible to be a true country music fan and a Republican at the
same time. That's my claim. I don't care how many NASCAR events and
rodeos Bush attends.

I just recently heard that Kinky Friedman is running for Governor of
Texas. He's just an asshole from El Paso.

I have heard of and also heard some of them. Hank Snow of course, Tex
Ritter, Hank Williams, Johnny Russell, Hank Locklin, Jim Reeves, Wink
Martindale, and a host of others. Never heard (of) Hank Thompson, or Gene
Autry (Except as a film star. Was he "the singing cowboy"?), or Lefty
Frizzel, as far as I am aware.

Don´t know the song you mentioned either. I do like some of the Ladies,
most especially Patsy Cline ( Sp?), Tammy Wynette ( Sp), Lynn Anderson, and
quite a few more, I have a few CD´s of these ( "Best Of´s, Collections,
etc), and quite a few old LP´s which I will probably never listen to again.
They have been in a cupboard for the last fourteen years, since I moved
house last time. They were not used for quite a while before that either. I
always meant to get them on to digital media, but never got around to doing
it. I still have a record player, but don´t use it any more.

Indeed I like quite a large number. Don´t much like much of the modern
stuff I have heard. Don´t much like quite a bit of "modern" music either.
Most of the music I listen to, you will never have heard of, so it is
pointless mentioning it. Many of my CD´s were produced by small obscure
private labels, specialising in various types of folk music.

What are "Sooners"?

I'm afraid you're behind the curve, Mike. No offense intended.

Highly likely. As long as I am not around the bend, I am content.

Me either. While a lot of the "old" country music seems to have a lot of
heart and soul, much of the new stuff is just bad rock and roll. I can't
listen to it.


What are "Sooners"?

It comes from the settlement of the Oklahoma territory in 1889. Basically,
the US government allowed a first come-first served posession of Oklahoma
land that was scheduled to begin on a set date. Prospective settlers waited
on the boundary, and a bugle call started a mad rush into the territory.
Many were dismayed, however to find that much of the choice property was
already occupied by settlers who had cheated the schedule and gone in early,
"sooner" than they were supposed to. Over time, "Sooners" became the
nickname for all residents of Oklahoma (and the name of their university
foorball team). A decent but brief accounting of the history is at
http://sdsd.essortment.com/oklahomalandru_rccj.htm if you're interested.

I have the polarized bi-focals. They provide me with the same problems
everyone else is mentioning.

I also have bi-focal wannabe contacts that don't quite fill the bill. So, I
wind up with the contacts, normal polarized sunglasses and flip-ups to tie
knots.

I've found that the flip-ups become less annoying in terms of glare, etc
when I move them to the side of a wide brimmed hat after use or put them on
the top of a ball cap brim after use.

All good stuff- and a good start as well, but let me edeecate ya'll on the
folks that really defined country music. It all started back in the 1920s
with the minstrel shows, which led to the popularity of the hillbilly string
bands.
Probably ya'll have all heard Jimmie Rodgers, Roy Acuff, Tom Ashley, and
Uncle Dave Macon- all very important in the history of early country music.
However, the first folks to actually record and popularize country music
were "Fiddlin" John Carson, with his recording of Cluck Old Hen, in 1923,
and Eck Robertson with his recording of Sallie Gooden, in 1922. These were
the first country music recordings, and Fiddlin John Carson has been
attributed with revolutionizing the role of Old Time fiddling.
We can thank Ralph Peer and Tennessee for givin us these folks recordings.

And don't forget the Carter Family.....

Also, I agree that today's "country" SUCKS
