I now have several of their songs on my MP3 also. <br /><br />LC<br />Well thank you so much. So glad you think so. <br /><br />Kay,<br />Is Folk still around? I use to listen to that genre almost exclusively. Thanks, think I will hunt some up.<br /><br />RMW,<br />Ok, I will have to look up Nine Inch Nails. Interesting name but sounds far from country. Like you, I am open to new. <br /><br />Dr. Kathy McCoy.<br />Lucky you to have home grown musical evenings. I do envy people who can play an instument. <br /><br />Carolyn,<br />So glad you keep up with the comments. I do have a great bunch of readers and the comments are usually way better than the post. <br />I checked out the song. It was cute. I heard Garrison Keillor sing it before.<br /><br />NC Mountainwoman,<br />Ha,ha you were "closet" country. I remember my brother didn't brag much about his love for it either.

But I still listened to it on the radio every night. You just have to love the lyrics and the tempo.

I always always loved Johnny Cash and always will (RIP), but didn't know very much about it. I think a lot of people were turned on to country when they just couldn't listen to disco any more! BTW, Johnny Cash turned me on to Nine Inch Nails (go figure) and I listen to their stuff a lot now. I'm always looking for new stuff to feed the ipod! <br /><br />xxoo,<br /><br />RMWRocky Mountain Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17873112978518614362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-43217862928091148212011-10-12T08:15:30.585-05:002011-10-12T08:15:30.585-05:00My husband really doesn't care for country mus...My husband really doesn't care for country music, but well...

I love most music if it is performed well and the range increases with age to include Country and the odd Rap artists.<br /><br />At 14 I was forced to listen to Jazz by my cousin and fell in love with Dave Brubeck, who opened the doors to other artists and forms of jazz.I loved Motown and the soul of that era. Didn't really enjoy much Rock and Roll of the fifties but loved the Rock of the 70's 80's and 90's. Hated what my Nana called crooners ...maybe because she turned the radio off muttering 'rubbish' ...still not keen though.Certain clasical pieces move me and I love the sound that an operatic voice makes ...not bothered by the words though the voice says it all...but anything Mozart mesmerizes me.<br /><br />I love performers like Queen and Lady Gaga and new voices like Adele...best of all is good LIVE music at a small venue ...oops better stop now ...as you may have gathered I am quite passionate about what I like in music even though it is a wide range. xxAngiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12177505346903016669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-38772140163506652782011-10-11T17:16:32.499-05:002011-10-11T17:16:32.499-05:00Hi Patti!

I haven't learned it yet. Have fun.<br /><br />Amber Star,<br />I know what you mean. Some are just so darn funny. Today except for a few artists, they have gone more mainstream and less comical. Rather a loss. <br /><br />Patty,<br />Ah yes, Elvis. He really had a huge influence, much like the Beatles did. <br /><br />Stichin by the lake,<br />I practically agree with you.

I never HEAR lyrics to a song. As a dancer, I just hear/feel the beat. If a song has a great beat, it could have all naughty words and I probably wouldn't notice. These are all for beginners and I never danced country so I had to teach myself from tapes. That is a big change for me. :)I also have an East Coast Swing class going and I've danced that since Tad was a pup.<br /><br /><a href="http://beajayblock.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Manzanita@Wannabuyaduck</a>Manzanitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06467261212623663365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-20470728160316443352011-10-10T23:18:40.017-05:002011-10-10T23:18:40.017-05:00Either one loves country music or hates it.

My ex-husband was a huge country fan. He'd been brought up on it. It was through him I learned to like some of the old time singers, and through my children, I've learned to like the new ones. I pick other genres such as rock and roll from the 50s and 60s, religious music, gospel music, and classical. I never did like disco music either. Maybe it is because I was busy having babies when it was popular and could not relate to dancing.Sally Wesselyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06470453773515491625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-12749194854603899132011-10-10T22:37:06.479-05:002011-10-10T22:37:06.479-05:00Hey, Patti, what a great post!

You are right when you say nobody can do a sad song like a country song.<br /><br />I like all kinds of music (but classical bugs me); even rap now after spending time this summer at that Nike football thing.

You would know for sure.I probably could listen to it today with out getting the willies.<br /><br />Clint,<br />Sterile is a great description. You mentioned some cool names there. <br /><br />Wanda,<br />I hadn't heard of Rhapsody Playlist. I googled it and it is interesting. Thanks for the hint. <br /><br />Nitwit,<br />Sometimes it is hard to recognize genres anymore they all seem to blend together. I don't like it but you have to give rap credit for being unique. <br /><br />Miss Dazey,<br />You ought to give Ipods a try. It is one way to listen to the exact music you want and it isn't hard. I did it. <br /><br />OOLOH,<br />I too love classical. It puts me in a contemplative yet relaxed mood. I was surprised that you weren't into show tunes. <br /><br />Djan, <br />I guess for exercise class it would be upbeat. I do listen less to music these days also. <br /><br />whalechaser,<br />Goodness you did jump around genres didn't you. Still by doing that, you broadened your scope. Not a bad thing.<br /><br />Olga,<br />Thanks for the reminder. I do need some Patsy Cline on my MP3 also. <br /><br />robin,<br />There was a time when folk was all I listened to. It is still enjoyable today. <br /><br />Carolyn,<br />Brother Where Art Thou really did introduce a lot of people to blue grass. That was a cool picture. <br /><br />Grace,<br />Thank you for stopping by and commenting. Thanks, I will have to check out my Direct music channels. I keep forgetting about them. <br /><br />Betsy,<br />Amazing what we will do for love. The lyrics really are meaningful unless it is about a Boy Named Sue :))<br /><br />Ellen,<br />They really were the best. I listened to them for years also.<br /><br />schmidleysscribblins<br />I do remember Spike Jones show on the radio. My oldest brother used to laugh till he cried at the show. It was a must listen to in our home. I was too young to get it. <br /><br />chancy the gardener,<br />I kind of miss those days gathered around the radio. They were special. <br /><br />Cheryl,<br />You are the second to mention Patsy. I really need to get some of her songs on my MP3. Thanks for the reminder. <br /><br />Abe,<br />Funny you should mention Herb Alpert. I just saw a special on him. He is alive and doing quite well. He could really play a horn. <br /><br />Abby,<br />Welcome to TNS and thank you for stopping to comment. Country does have American roots and is easy to sing along with. <br /><br />Nezzy,<br />Yes, a little shake up is good for the soul.
