Country Music - OT

There's a guy named Will Hoge that a I downloaded for free and it's probably the only country song I've liked in a decade. It's called, "little bitty dreams"

I looked at some of that stuff. It's new.

I found an old song of mine that I forgot all about and it's good. The lyrics and recording of music etc. was found in a suitcase stored away. See, last Tuesday night I was digging around for songs.
I'm sort of practicing some rock songs.

I think the best new aged country is Zac Brown and after hearing his new CD, Im not even sure if he qualifies as country.

Well, Taylor Swift started out as Country, but now...
Although very attractive, her penchant for slamming those who break up with her in song (often some of her biggest hits) is a turn off.

I'll admit, I haven't been much into Country. Chris LeDoux is always good, and a few other songs, but it's not my main genre. Classic rock is (AC/DC!). Though I have been getting a bit into electronic music.

AND...having a current all-out war against Katy Perry.

AC/DC rocks but so does Def Leppard.

I like some electronic music. I used to program a keyboard with its built in drum machine and play it and sing lyrics while creating songs. I'd make these simple recordings to remember my songs.
I like a couple of AC/DC and Def Leppard songs but not all of it.

I was practicing Low by Cracker and Figment by Michael Penn last week.

I'm afraid my favorites go much farther back. Marty Robbins was my favorite - most people here have never heard of him.

The fact that either of you know this is sad.

AC/DC rocks but so does Def Leppard.
