Can't live in Texas and not love Robert Earl Keen. Gringo honeymoon is a must have CD. Where in Texas are you? Check out . 95.3 KHYI The Range on the internet. They play Texas sound, Americana, and AM country gold. Last station in Texas not owned by Yankees.

Thanks I'll check that out. I'm up here in the panhandle where it might as well be New Jersey for all the Texas country I can find on the radio. There's a lot of thing I miss about the Texas that's south of the Red River.

Officially it's Americana. Sort of Alternative country or Austin Sound. Austin is a great place, it's the one place where Hippies on the left and bubbas on the right all get along with a common thread:Music.

I like you guys more and more but I miss broadband - KHYI is the best since KFAT.

KFAT, YES! I used to listen to that in the 70's when I lived in Santa Cruz. That's where I first heard of Bob Wills.

I'll not just sit here and let Billy Joe Shaver go unmentioned.
And I'll not die happy until I've slept with Lucinda Williams.
Or at least seen her.

Want to hear something weird?. Both my 4yr old and 2yrd old daughters like the Jerry Reed. I picked up the Essential Jerry reed last month and they both hop up and down and dance in circles for Guitar man and KoKo Joe.

KFAT - or at least some of the jocks are on KPIG – I hope Dallas Dobro s still on (his kid owes me for some tickets to Strawberry - Karma on Priest Grade and all) Google it!!

Makes me think of the Flying Borrito Bros., Lost Planet Airmen and old Panama Red.

I don't know what Beatles stuff you guys have heard. They went through a lot of changes. Some people like the early stuff but not the later, and vice versa. I rediscovered them after nearly 30 years when I found out that my kids like the music. It's like PrairieMule saying that his little kids just love Jerry Reed. You hear the music with new ears when your kids like it. My favorite Beatles stuff was in their middle years: Revolver, Rubber Soul, Magical Mystery Tour, Sargeant Pepper. Dave Matthew's Band did a cover of Tomorrow Never Knows, off the Revolver album, which was good.

They're playing some classic George Jones stuff now. Damn good, 'She Thinks I Still Care'. Now it's a cover of Hank Williams senior, 'Honky Tonkin'. Lot's of slide guitar, Texas style and fiddle. When I was a kid, I adored this stuff.

Hi. :) Many of us seem to be showing our ages here. It's interesting .. I've heard so much from some of the people at work about how they don't do the internet thing cause they're too old to learn. I should tell em about our mature crowd.
Kind regards, Katkinkate

Today's youth shouldn't be too arrogant. Young was defined in the 60's. I've just recently had my ideas about evolution changed by some books I've read. If it's strong and convincing, my mind can be changed. Mental flexibility is the measure of vibrancy and youth.

I think it's a general rule of mine that any band that attracts hordes of screaming teenage fans is highly likely to suck. Hansen, New Kids on the Block, the Beatles, the Monkeys, the Backstreet Boys, Menudo, etc.

Well that explains why they 'suck' to you: you've evidently never heard them or much of them. Sometimes I know that young people can be charmed and amazed by their music. Not always, of course, but it can come as a suprise to some just how good they were. I don't know anything about these others you list except the Monkeys. What the heck, Day Dream Believer wasn't so bad! :roll:

BTW, KHYI is now playing Willie Nelson's Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain - an inspired piece of music if there ever was one.
