badly_knittedI've been wanting to do music posts for a while, but I've kept putting it off, because... Well, it's doubtful people will be interested since 95% of what I post is gonna be country, and most of my f-list don't listen to country. So I guess this will mostly be for my own benefit, but I hope at least someone might find something they like.
I'm going to just post 4 or 5 songs each time, and probably an instrumental track, because I love great picking.

I don't know why, I guess because it's got such an image of good ol' boy Republicans with their guns and confederate flags and pickup trucks... 😁😂🤣 It's actually hard for me to separate the image from the music. It's an interesting topic when you think about it, because people in other countries probably have a totally different way of seeing it.

I love everything from Bluegrass and Cajun, to Western Swing, mainstream country, and country rock, but I'm not big on the modern country. There are a few I like, but for me the heyday was 80s-90s. I guess we do look at country music differently over here, it's not got the political connotations for us. I just love something with a good tune, lyrics I can sing, and a beat I can dance to. Plus there are some GREAT voices in country. Or there were. Most of my favourites are long gone.
I got bullied throughout school for being a country fan =(
