Unfortunately, that was not the low point. This was:

If we thought we had so much to complain about thus far....we had no idea how wrong we were. NOW we have something to complain about.

I stand corrected. This is far worse.

"Not country at all. Hollywood B.S. a$$ kissers."

Guys, my oldest, bestest friend, JL Myers, was an audio engineer in Nashville. He was with TNN from before it went on the air, until it was killed. He did Post Production on every Hee Haw. Then he went independent. If you've heard interviews with "stars" in the last 15 years, you've heard his work, He's now retired. He has told me that since TNN died, and CMT bloomed, "JB, ALL my work orders come from New York City." And NYC is such a bulwark of "Country" music! And he knows, cuz he was intimately involved in the business. Blame New York bean counters!

this new music is not that bad, but they need to find another name for it, because it sure ain't "Country"

They sound great, and I think will become even more popular DB! So many new guitars sound alike, with no particular character. I worked with the late Jerry Brightman, assembling his great Performance guitars. But I really can't say they sounded better than the current crop, although they did play better.

John, I'm looking for a nice Sho~Bud amp, you know of any for sale?

John Billings · Post by **John Billings** » 21 Apr 2015 5:34 pm

Unfortunately not Damir. But I like split Twins with cabs by Rick Johnson.

Agree with the comments however, its pretty unlikely Faron Young, Webb Pierce, Skeets McDonald, and Dony Young are going to make an appearance.

Damir, I have a ShoBud amp for sale. I don't know enough about them to tell you what model it is but it is not the "slide pot version" or the Christmas Tree. It looks a lot like my Standel Custom. It is solid state.

I decided to just keep my opinions to myself. So, I extracted my opinion.

I can say this. I hate to see the direction that country music is going.

All Hat And No Cattle. That's an idiom we use quite often here in Texas.

I guess I must have missed the segment where Gene Watson performed.

Barry Blackwood · Post by **Barry Blackwood** » 24 Apr 2015 6:39 pm

we are also having a hard time accepting that country music has vastly advanced and moving on.

Disposable music for the current generation. More or less it has regressed back to seventies rock. The problem everybody is having with it is, it is not backward compatible.

It's sad for us older folks, but IT IS WHAT IT IS.

Until it isn't.

I don't like it, but I'm past the point of caring anymore. Only my opinion, but I think it will be forgotten more quickly than any other generation of country music that came before it..

Robert Parent · Post by **Robert Parent** » 25 Apr 2015 4:17 am

I have not watched a so-called country show on TV in about a decade. Never cared for award shows, especially when the music also sucks. Country radio also isn't and has been deleted from the play rotation for several years. These days I mostly listen to bluegrass and soft jazz being most of it has some musical value.

Wlth a few exceptions, even 20 yrs ago country radio sounded like some goobers who wanted to pretend they were the new Eagles or L Ronstadt but weren't. IMO

Mike Archer · Post by **Mike Archer** » 26 Apr 2015 3:17 pm

I wonder if there could be a split in country

say let modern country go as is

but maybe a new media format for traditional

country and keep um apart.....somehow

IF greed could be kept down

theres a lot of great real country artist that

need a renewed chance.....IMHO

Hmmm... Dan + Shay and Nick Jonas kinda remind me of the Eagles.

Flame away, all of you Eagles fans. I'm wearing' my fire retardant duds.

Keep on pickin'!

In what possible way?

John Booth · Post by **John Booth** » 28 Apr 2015 8:42 am

I wouldn't insult the Eagles that way.
At least the Eagles knew they weren't country.

Joe Casey · Post by **Joe Casey** » 28 Apr 2015 8:51 am

But were more Country than anything out there now. Who didn't like the Eagles.
