• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Not a country fan but this is hilarious!

You'd think there might be some plagiarism in there somewhere...

I used to produce a radio program using similar software and this is pretty impressive work.
 
Sadly "Country" music has become much like "Pop" music. They all sound pretty much the same. Then there is "Techno Pop Music" :hun:where voices are electronically altered. I hate it. It's like listening to fingernails being continuously screeched across a blackboard. As for country, give me Hank Williams, Johnny Cash,Charlie Pride, Patsy Cline, Bob Wills, and others of that era. That is true country.

I couldn't agree more. To me, rap music is rap music. No matter who "sings" it. Whiney boys and skinny girls rapping along to thumpy-bumpy same sounding tunes get turned off faster than my ex-wife's happy mood.....

You have hit the nail on the head. Country music (as I liked it) died somewhere in the 60's. I refer to the current stuff as "contemporary crap." I don't follow it and only know one of the people mentioned in the "mish mash."

I am glad for my old 33 rpm records and re-done CD and DVD's. At least some of the real Country music is preserved. I guess that is why I jumped on Bluegrass about 15 years ago. No steel guitars, but the Country sound is there.

However, of late, that is starting to take a bit of a contemporary sound too. Chet was an idol (guitar playing), but as a producer of the "Nashville Sound," he opened the door for the contemporary crap.

Rant Over. :yes:
 
I like country music, but admittedly, when these songs were at the top of the charts, they got played so much they got sickening. I remember very well being out grooming snowmobile trails at night and these would all play at least once an hour when they were in the top ranks.....interesting to see how similar they really are. Disappointing at the same time too though.

Now Bluegrass is a whole 'nother item. Gimme Flat & Scruggs, Bill Monroe, Doc Watson, The Seldom Scene, & Allison Krauss. There are also some pretty new obscure BG bands and artists out there, like The Dead South & Chris Rodriquez & The Spoon Lady (REALLY OBSCURE) and then there is this. Not related, but I like it anyway.

Add in Reno & Smiley, Ronnie Reno, Ralph Stanley, Del McCoury, Jim and Jesse, Jimmy Martin, etc. and we have a lot of good stuff. I watch Song of the Mountains and Woodsongs weekly. Some good stuff on both shows.

This was a comment from youtube, and by the way, the video and music are excellent:

"This version has more meaning to me. You feel the pain of what is and what is to be in this life. I usually have a stone persona. But this touched my mechanical heart and I felt a dampness on my cheek. They were tears. I didn't think i was capable of crying anymore. Bless You All."
 
To me, rap music is for those who can't sing or hold a tune but want to make money in the music business.
