Joe,Not only does classic music [Country and otherwise]sell it sells bigtime.Check out any large record store and it will have plenty classic music .In any retail setting shelf space is valuable.ANY PRODUCT that does not sell is GONE.Think about it Jimmy Rodgers has been gone 80 years,Hank Williams ...

I can't understand how some won't admit the [OLD] country is not selling.You can channel surf on most any night and see at least three channels with infomercials selling classic music [of ALL venues. How can you buy [NEW] classic country ? duh.IT's been YEARS since any decent music [country,do-wop,b...

Tony,You asked how many Ray,Willie,etc I have bought in the last year.Absolutely NONE.Don't need to.Still have the ones I bought years ago.In the last 20 years I have bought [four CD'S] three Dale Watson cd's[the only REAL honky-tonk singer in the business today,and Robert Randolf's CD [the word].As...

Joe,I was channel surfing last and saw four channels with ads for classic country music.RFD was selling the DVD'S the other three the classic country CD'S. Been seeing these ads a LOOONG time.If they were'nt selling I really don.t think those ads would be there night after night,Not only for classic...

Tony, I DON'T agree with you .Why? You must not watch tv very much.Look at all the info-mercials selling the family reunion shows on Dvd of all the greats of REAL country music,and the box sets of CD;S of the same,these ads have been on for years,Someone is buying them or the ads would be gone,and t...

That WHOLE CD kicks butt.That guy is freaky,He must have seven fingers on each hand. YOU BETCHA,DYK?BC.

Hey Mr. BS.some of the old farts as you call them such as Hank Sr.,Marty,Earnest,Hank Snow,The Carters,Jimmy Dean,Kitty,etc are STILL known after 40,50,60,years.You POS do you think 50 or 60 years from now your music will be in demand ? Don't think so hoss.YOU BETCHA,DYK?BC.

Don't know why you could'nt use it in country music,PLENTY of guitar pickers [including myself] used guitars with bigsby tail pieces and strats with tremolos while playing country music.YOU BETCHA,DYK?BC.

David,Have you thought about a split case ? When I was a young whippersnapper like you ,My favorite guitar was a MSA d-10 Classic,[a back breaker] I cut the case down where just the body of the guitar fit in it,carried everything else in a soft keyboard case.Made a big difference in moving it in and...

Another thing to consider is KNOW your bandmates well.Roadwork can be a great experience with sober serious pickers,AND a nightmare with dopers and drunks.Been there done that. YOU BETCHA,DYK?BC.

Alan,The article that Buddy wrote about him,he did,nt mince any words,He said Jim was a first-class POS and treated himself AND Jimmy Day like crap.I only met Buddy once and talked with him years ago, and by his demeanor then I choose to believe him.YOU BETCHA,DYK?BC.

He ALLWAYS sounds good to me.If he's playing out of tune,Maybe more of us should try that. Very few have done more to promote the steel in the last few years than Robert,in tune or not.Can anyone name one steel player that puts the steel OUT FRONT,CENTER STAGE,IN YOUR FACE IN FRONT OF THOUSANDS THAT...

Jim was a great singer but if the Big E said he was a POS,then I believe it.YOU BETCHA,DYK?BC.

Yep,He the man.YOU BETCHA,DYK?BC.

Just watched this great duo on ACL .GREAAAAT .If you can catch them on your PBS channel,do so.YOU BETCHA,DYK?BC.

I remember in the 40's,50's and 60's instrumentals were a hugh part of a stations playlist. The last instrumental that I can remember that got airplay on the FM stations was Eric Johnson's Cliffs of Dover off his 1990 Ah Via Musicom album. YOU BETCHA,DYK?BC.

LIKE THE OLD LOGO ,YOU BETCHA,DYK?BC.

Bill,that's what jam sessions are for.Even half-assed players such as myself HAVE to play what we are getting paid to play.For instance [For the Good Times] I HATE that tune,but HAVE to play it.When some friends and I get together to jam THEN I play what I LIKE.Or when I'm in my music room I listen ...

I agree with Jerry,Narvel's version is my favorite.YOU BETCHA,DYK?BC.

SHO-NUFF YA'LL, YOU BETCHA,DYK?BC.

What Erv said. Did that to an Emmons seat I bought about twenty years ago. Still use it. YOU BETCHA,DYK?BC.

Mr. Joe, You just proved my point.I'm sorry just stringing a bunch of five dollar words together that are unintelligible,incomprehensible,nonsense,does not make a great communicater.Of course it's your prerogative to think Dr. Bill is this brilliant intellectual and anyone that does not agree with h...

Seems hard to get a commitment from Dr. Bill's peanut gallery. YOU BETCHA,DYK?BC.
