You can read her blog reports at her MySpace website. Elizabeth writes some of the best blog entries on the net. Link: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=31696140 I really enjoyed that Sun interview and got a kick out of the fact that they made it sound like Elizabeth is a mainstream country star over here. Sadly Elizabeth is "too country" for Top 40 radio and has been relegated to the "Americana" realm ever since her first Warner's single "Stupid Things" was "pulled" back a few years ago. I think her talent may be more appreciated in the UK than over here.....

Saw her play live a month ago in London, and thoroughly enjoyed it! Wow, I’m shocked that The Sun (which is a horrible newspaper here in the UK) has an interview with Elizabeth Cook.

I agree with Paul's comment about Buddy's understated talents, and he could play in so many styles too. His rockabilly work was outstanding, too. The number of records he played on is mind-boggling. What's funny about most of the obits is that they mention "Crazy Arms," a song in which there are no drums. One of the amazing aspects of that song is that it has such a strong rhythm without drums (not to mention Tommy Jackson's fiddle and Ray's great, soaring voice). It's just a bass guitar and an electric bass guitar doubling up on the same note to give it a thump. Harman played on nearly all the rest of Price's great shuffles, though. If you research the early A-team, there's usually a couple of people at almost every instrument who were considered significant. But Buddy was the drummer for everybody. Hal Blaine in L.A. is probably the only other drummer to be in the same league as Harmas when it comes to the number of great sessions played.

Hmmm, I don't think I'm gonna win.... I wish Sunny Sweeney was concentrating more on writing her own material than getting pitched committee generated Nashville stuff. Oh well..... All time favorite music video: John Michael Montgomery's "Sold" without a doubt. The dancing Amish/Mennonites and Japanese cowboys were a stroke of creative genius. And the cute little object of his affections ain't bad either..... The PhotoCrap album titles are hilarious as usual. Keep up the good work Trailer!
