Not much into today's country music, (too pop), but there are a quite a few of the older songs that I like, the more 'cowboy' the better!! :)His Girl Fridayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10053180004186823673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24682327.post-41843497974690409462007-11-12T15:10:00.000-08:002007-11-12T15:10:00.000-08:00I loved your post.

But, for a few years now,I've been back. Tim McGraw's song at the ACM awards runs through my head right now. It hasn't even been released and it is in the top songs requested on radio. Sure there are still Honky Tonk and cheatin songs mixed in but there are also some beautiful ballads.<BR/>Mama BearLove Bears All Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04091529156071883508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24682327.post-8866614743708978352007-11-11T20:35:00.000-08:002007-11-11T20:35:00.000-08:00I grew up with only country around too (and being ...I grew up with only country around too (and being a classical lover I thought I would die every time I had to listen to the twang.) Since then I have discovered blue-grass and traditional country tunes that are everything you speak of in this post...pure, raw, honest, and connected to something bigger than the generic pop/rap/rock songs that are too popular today.<BR/><BR/>Popular country is still not my first choice to listen to on the radio either, but I certainly have more respect for it than I did growing up. And as for the older/blue-grass and traditional music....I LOVE it.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the post!Monique Kleinhanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09208648372626654853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24682327.post-54069478063505713842007-11-10T12:47:00.000-08:002007-11-10T12:47:00.000-08:00It has been snowing here for 24 hours nopw.
