Man,I must have missed the whole point of this topic.But,now with sex & crazy, I don't how I got into that.I wasn't even on that topic. I was talking about little Mr. Kenny Chesney who for some reason,what's the ? > Leo J Eiffert,Jr. PS I bet Clint Higham can help us why Kenny is who he is.

I guess one good way to judge is longivity...I'm talking of course on the music that is put out..I'll bet most posters on this board can't name 5 songs recorded by specific artist say 2 years ago..Some artist can't be remembed that far back because they are gone from the labels...I don't mind Country Music changing I do mind calling todays crap Country..It is not a new Country its an old form of Rock...Some good but a lot more just plain crap..Noise covering singing flaws,and certainly burying the Fiddles and steels...I also get a kick out of the T shirts and Cowboy hats and Sneakers..Now thats a true Cowboy...JMHFO

Joe,A point I have allways tried to make,The real DEAL lives on ,the crap does not,He's been gone over half a century,but how many Hank Sr,songs do you remember,or Jim Reeves,Patsy,Webb,Hank Snow,Earnest,the list could go on,even in the pop field,how old is Stardust,Deep Purple,Moonlight In Vermont,Misty,etc,Real music NEVER dies,I really don't think 50 years after they are gone that Kenny,Big and Rich,Montgomery Gentry,or Cowboy Troy will be remembered or selling product,I may be wrong,BUT DON'T THINK SO.DYKBC.

Doug Beaumier · Post by **Doug Beaumier** » 29 Jun 2008 1:04 pm

That's right Charles and Joe, most of the "Country" that we hear today will be long forgotten in a few years. Most of it is formula stuff with a good sales pitch. Maybe a few of today's hits will live on for years to come, but I can't think of any right now!

Charles,
If you asked a person 50 years or older if they knew those songs, I think most would answer yes. If you asked people 30 years or younger they probably would answer no.

I think "The Real Deal" of all musical genres lives on with those that are growing older with it. But for the most part, people listened to what was from their's and their parents era (in my case, music played in the home and car when I was young). Not their grandparents era. With kids today having their own mp3 players, that no longer happens. They have only their own music, and that is the music they will remember later in their lives, just like you are with the music you like.

Genres, genres, genres, who the hell invented that word anyway??

Is there something wrong with just saying, "different kinds of music"??

LJ Eiffert · Post by **LJ Eiffert** » 29 Jun 2008 4:24 pm

Wally,Most can't tell you the different in music cause most of them don't know how music is put together. Just ask one to tell what instrument is on any song. Like drums,bass,piano,Guitar,Steel Guitar vocal or back up vocals. Fun. Leo J.Eiffert,Jr. PS; I guess " Kenny Chesney's " off the hook now with this Topic since the pictures come into play.

Wally,
I threw "genre" in there to see if anyone would make it to the 2nd paragraph. You passed the test!!

I can't think of one single Hank Sr. song! What did he do?

The record companies!

There was a great PBS special on DeFord Bailey a couple of years ago. He said all his family and the folks that he grew up with all played "Hillbilly" music, and there were white folks that played blues.
When the record company men came to record them, they said the blacks could only make "Race" or "Blues" records and the whites could only do "Hillbilly" records.
This was all in the 1920's and the whole genres game is still played, by the record companies, today.

Thanks Joe!

I think I will go listen to some genres of music now.
