And in other music news today, Kirby McDaniel will be releasing his latest
collection of vintage German Polkas recorded on the sidewalk on 6th Street
in Austin. The cover art will be his favorite barstool made of bull horns
and deer antlers.

there's still a fair number of absolutely outstanding acts to be

Here's an album I recorded and released on my (meanwhile retired)
record label in 2007:
http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/billydonburns
The recordings were made in my living room, and that's my sofa on the
cover. Billy Don Burns is an outlaw, a rebel, an addict and utterly
crazy,
but it's guys like him who still keep the spirit of REAL country alive.
If you look into his biography, Billy Don has been all over the place,
Willie Nelson recorded one of this songs, his co-operation with Hank
Cochran actually kicked Johnny Cash's UNCHAINED off the #1 position in
Gavin's Americana album charts in 1996, and today he COULD be one of
the great names in country music, yet he managed to screw it all up,
and as it is, hardly anybody outside the professional crowd even
remembers his name.
To quote another one of my country music heroes, David Allan Coe: 'If
that ain't country, you can kiss my ass!'

Being a songwriter (lyricist) myself---and having written dozens of
country songs, mostly in the early 90's---the use of imperfect rhymes in
every contemporary Country song is a true pet peeve of mine. The current
Country music songwriters go out of their way to make every single rhyme
an
imperfect one---ie: rhyming "back" with "that" or "pit" with "this". Hey,
if this occurred occasionally or even semi-frequently, it wouldn't bother
me
so much...but nowadays it's always the case...always. And I'm not alone in
feeling the way I do. Years ago, the legendary lyricist Sammy Cahn said it
was his personal pet peeve as well...and that was decades before
contemporary Country music started thoroughly dumbing-down the songwriting
process. A few years ago, I met the great songwriter Paul Williams at a
friend's Christmas party and we got into a long conversation about this
subject...and he agreed with me completely.
In Country music as well as Pop music, these days more often than not
songs are "cloned"---somebody has a monster hit, causing songwriters to
scramble in an effort to write a song that's just close enough to the hit
where they won't get their asses sued for plagiarism. I'm sure this same
type of practice takes place all the time in the TV and movie industries
as
well. I think Country music had a renaissance of sorts in the late 80's
and
early 90's and has gone downhill ever since. Just my two cents, whatever
that's worth...

Blake Shelton and Jake Owen made me swoon, Carrie Underwood who is
sheer perfection in every way certainly had Mo's attention, and the
National Anthem was sung to perfection by The Oak Ridge Boys.
That's what I'm talking' about: Yee Haw!
As for the "porn" you sent Morrie, Kirby you nut, those were some
great shots of movie poster stuff from back in the day. Mo is
hanging his head for not getting back to you the moment he watched
it. I really enjoyed seeing Mo bidding in that auction. He says
THANK YOU!!
Okay, so I have no input as to how to get great - or even good-
tickets to next year's CMA event. Bummer, dudes.
'Night- By the way, here is my favorite, hands down, no question
about it, FOREVER AND EVER favorite country music video. Mo loves it
too. We both wish we could have participated!! Watch it standing up
and HAVE A GOOD TIME!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSROm-vgVRk

They're boot-scooters! They should move to Texas. Like Stephen
