The latest issue of "Acoustic Guitar" has a good interview with Steve Earl
and Del and Ronnie McCoury. Not just for guitar nerds. Interesting in light
of the recent "Update" mud-sling.

So Miss Stephanie and I come home from doing a show with Mike Ireland and
Dan Bresh.
We tune into the Cash Tribute. Brooks and Dunn are introduced as the

One of the best things that I ever did was to get my mother to start
reading Lee Smith. Now we have something to talk about at Thanksgiving.
Couldn't get into "Fair and Tender Ladies" or "Family Linen", but "Saving
Grace" ruled in Hell. But then again, I'm a sucker for snake handling.

I don't think drummers should ever drink during or

Gee, that's a tough one. Maybe T.N.U.C. from that double live album with a

I'm not saying it's inevitable by any means. But so far, every claim
that it can't ignores the fact that right now it *is* happening in
another genre, and every reason for the claim that it can't happen is
countered by that swing revival. A lot of things have to come together,
