Re: Some Of My Favorite Country & Bluegrass Songs
Thanks Unk. I enjoy Texas Swing and Bob Wills is the King.
Sorry about the commercial but the music is good.
I think this may have been previously posted but with 26 pages who can remember.

I don't know what rock I've been under but I'm sure glad I crawled out long enough to find this one.

Jerry - I think you're correct - we did post those a while back.
and Bacon, I'm a big fan of AATW, too........Route 66.....Take me back to Tulsa....Miles and Miles of Texas......good stuff
I have a swing version on my computer of "Red River Valley" by Bob Wills. I can't seem to find a Youtube version of it, but it sure is a good one....

'Red River Valley' by Bob Wills -- Contributed by Unk (It just hit me. All this time I thought that was short for Uncle but now I wonder if it stands for 'Unknown')
Thanks Mike.

Those were pretty good Jerry.
What ever happened to Junior Brown?
He used to be one of my favorite Chicken-Pickers.

Re: Some Of My Favorite Country & Bluegrass Songs
You're hitting them outta the ballpark today, Jerry.
Here's one of my favorites....Steel Guitar Rag. My dad used to drag his steel guitar out every once in a while and play this when I was a kid. I had the opening riff as my cell phone ring tone a few years ago.
"Kick it off, Leon!"

Steel Guitar Rag is and has been one of my favorites for more years than I care to remember. Thanks for posting that old favorite.

Re: Some Of My Favorite Country & Bluegrass Songs
One of the few songs I know all the words to. Larry Gatlin said they meant no disrespect by this song, it was meant as a comment on the underbelly of Nashville society.

Not sure if you guys have Dish but Alison Krauss and Union Station are on AXS channel 131 several times over the next few days. AXS might be available on other providers too. She has an awesome voice, 1 hour with no commercials!

Re: Some Of My Favorite Country & Bluegrass Songs
Edit: T.J. I'm still having an issue with my Internet Explorer and can't see or play the YouTube videos unless I sign on to AAPK using Google Chrome, SO, I didn't know you had posted up my main man Hoyt Axton. THANK YOU!! He's one of my top five favorites.
Now back to your regularly scheduled post.
Well, a guitar's fine and a banjo's lively but you can't have good old time country style music without a steel guitar and a fiddle.
I don't believe Roger Miller's made very many appearances in this thread. He did some goofy songs (You Can't Rollerskate In A Buffalo Herd) but he did some good ones too.
