Um...Terry Robb & Joni Harms! And, I do kinda like the Countripolitans,
the Flatirons to a lesser extent. Little Sue is getting better all the
time. Fernando, Bingo, Golden Delicious, and Pete Krebs, I just can't get
into. Would love to hear 44 Long on record and outside of a "wall of
noise" club environment.
Let's see, no traditional country scene, that's particularly disappointing
when I read about the stuff Honky Tonk Confidential is doing. Small
bluegrass community. Horrible radio. Perhaps our Low Power FM project
will help ease that Jones.
Yes, I know....move back East, East Tennessee boy. I hear ya.
I do like it here though and really wasn't trying to slag the entire
scene at all. The sheer number of quality clubs never ceases to amaze.
Need an acoustic, singer-songwriter place to hang on though.
I'd prefer being neck deep in the Nashville or Austin scene than up here.
Those scenes just offer more opportunity to enjoy the kind of music I
really enjoy than Portland. I'm most certainly NOT knocking Portland
for developing musical directions that differ from my own interests. It's
a truly wonderful area (to visit...<g>). And to live.....

Done posting for the rest of the day....
