The songwriting is top-notch especially when he works with Dean Dillon.

I loved “Farce the Music this week-especially the Oak Ridge Boys and Taylor Swifts.

Bill Anderson co wrote with Carrie and Jon Randall “Oklahoma Wind”.

Thanks…I love Ashton Shepherd! Since it’s been 16 months since the release of “Sounds So Good” wonder if she’s been working on a new album?

Its too bad that during summertime, when Nashville is full of tourist families, the Opry line-ups tend to be weak as so many good acts are out on the concert trail. Oh well.

I prefer artists who write their own songs by a wide margin as they are more likely to have a “unique” sound/style. I will make exceptions for interesting singers who pick quality songs, like Shannon Mock for example, and especially if they are attractive females. I admit to being very shallow in that regard…

I don’t normally pay much mind to Chet Fippo’s comments about music artists, but the stuff he says about the father and son team The Parks has me interested! Now I wonder what Chet personally means by “honky tonk” him being an ex-Rolling Stone staffer and all? Hmm….

That new bar in Texas should go all out and proclaim itself to be the “Texas Ultimate Red Dirt” Bar! Who wouldn’t want to listen to music and have a drink at the “TURD Bar”! (lol – I’ll never get tired of using that acronym!)
