Today's Country Music??

I was listening to the radio today and started to realize that they are playing less and less of the "old school" country music. I don't know about you all, but when I was growing up it was: Randy Travis, Garth Brooks, Reba, Travis Tritt playing. Just to name a few. Now it is all to new and doesn't have that old time feel to it like it used too.

I think they need to start playing more of the good stuff. That is just my opinion. Let me know what ya'll think.. Drop me a comment or an e-mail.

Just A Few Country Favs

Yes as you can tell I just love country music!! My husband gets mad at me for listening to it so much. He says it is always so sad, but I don't think so. I think it tells stories about different this people go through in life. Unlike rap, or all that other gibberish that you can't understand. Most people whether they admit it or not like some type of country music.

These are just a few of my favorites. My saying is "the older the better."

Well that's it for now.. I have some lyrics to songs and all that good stuff if anyone wants me to post anything that's not here. Drop me an e-mail and let me know what you need and I will get it for you!

AS YOU CAN TELL REBA MCINTIRE IS MY FAVORITE OF ALL TIME!!!! My favorite song from her is,,,,,,um....er....hmmm... who am I kidding? They are all GREAT!!
