Members Mark Blackburn Posted July 20, 2013 Author Members Share Posted July 20, 2013 I've just been watching Brad Paisley and Ray Benson -- two great Country singer/guitarists -- and their recent, alone-together, live performance of "Miles and Miles of Texas." And I'm having a reverie (indulge me please) about how such music will still appeal to great musicians of every genre, a hundred years hence. Just my prediction.Yes, 'Country Jazz' will still be winning hearts and minds as long as there are virtuoso musicians and singers in both genres. Which is to say 'forever.' Texas Swing is an art form best kept alive for the past four decades by Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mark Blackburn Posted January 10, 2014 Author Members Share Posted January 10, 2014 You won't believe this Mr. Grabby! (Thanks for your posting, by the way). A moment ago I just composed a reflection on my all-time favorite rock-a-billy song -- by the Everly Brothers -- to mark Phil's passing last week; I'd intended to post it on my "A Great Melody first, THEN the lyrics" thread, then I thought the better of it, and came here to post to my "When's a country song a COUNTRY song?" because . . . well, just because! Lo and behold your posting that: "I was part of the songwriting duo and git player for a wonderful little 3-piece Rockabilly/Country band 83-86 here in austin, tx." ----If I ever get to Nashville I want to visit Woodlawn Cemetary, where many of my Country music heroes are buried Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
