I don't know if there is a more appropriate newsgroup for this but what I'd like to know is where the Country western afficionados are. Elvis is good as are many of the bands mentioned but I have a soft spot in my heart for the simpler sounding C&W music. If I can sing along with it I'm happy. (And if you ever see some fool driving along singing at the top of his lungs with his radio then you've probably seen me.) Any other supporters of C&W music? BGB

I completely agree that folk and country music, especially the non-overproduced stuff that comes out of other places than (g)Nashville, is unjustly ignored. Long Live Norman Blake! Q) Why don't people like "folk" music? A) Because their friends don't, and they're afraid to admit that they like music that is pleasant to listen to, is intended to entertain, and encourages the more "peaceful" emotions.
