Now, I realize I have gone way off topic concerning tradition, but that is secondary when it comes to decency.
Decency and respect are very traditional values! You are not off topic at all.

For better or worse, country music has always been like a sponge, absorbing influences from other kinds of music. Twenty years ago we saw the emergence of a generation of people who grew up listening to both Hank Williams and Jimi Hendrix. The influence of rock into country music was inevitable. Just as the continuing influence of rap and hip hop will be.
That's just the way it is. All the complaining in the world won't stop it. |

What Tay and Mike P. said.
And Don too. Yes, decency is a traditional thing,
or should be in more places than it sometimes seems to be.
I don't mind someone disagreeing with me as long as they are civil.
I expect very few people to like tha full range of musics I like.
And some of that classic period Nashville I do like.
And some is gathering dust in bins,
waiting for that last diehard fan to pluck it up.
Sometimes waits in vain.

| I just saw Brad Paisley at the Delaware County Fair, last Sat night. And, I gotta tell ya, that boy's country. He plays one mean country guitar. His steel player Brad is super clean and fast on his Franklin. Add on a great fiddle player, guitar player, bass player and a dynamite drummer, and you have one kick*** country band. I was thoroughly pleased with the music. We need to have more of these young artists out there, instead of the claptrap being forced down our throats. |

AMEN JAY< AMEN!! I don't think curse words should be allowed on this forum, or any other as far as that goes! but, I'm just a penny-annie member, it's up to the administrator and moderators to stop the cursing, and evidently they don't mind it.

I'm traditional country simply because I grew up in that era. I love to listen to all the greats that played all those traditional sounds.
But, I could listen to a good steel picker play "outside" the boundaries of tradition, such as Maurice Anderson. A great example is his album "Moods of Marice Anderson". Some great non-traditional steel.
There is also a steel picker out of Boulder, Colorado (Daniel Jones) who received his music degree from the University of San Francisco and his instrument was the pedal steel guitar. Probably the only music major ever to get a degree using the steel guitar as his instrument. Anyhow, Dan plays some great stuff that is classical, jazz, rock, that is outstanding. |

| Gotta hand it to the moderators (big round of applause goes here...). They certainly get tested once in a while. |

Joey,
Yes, I realized I had made a mistake after I sent the reply. I was thinking of Brad and inadvertly used that name. Anyway, the show was great!!! |
