Singin' the Blues or any other durn thing ya want.

Don't even follow it much and knew that, gee.

Don't have cable so I don't follow it at all.

Same boat here.  We get the news podcasts in the mornin an other shows on sites like fancast and crackle.  I watch Nightly News with Brian Williams most nights too.  NBC was real smart ta get in bed with MSN. 

[Texas Lawdog]

Besides winning World Championships in Bull Riding in the PRCA, he won some All-Around Championships. At one time, he competed in all 3 rough stock events,  SaddleBronc, Bareback Bronc, and Bull Riding.   He was on Dancing with the Stars this year also.

[Leo Tanner]

Ya don't say.  A bull rider on dancing with the stars?  Someone should do a you tube video with clips of that while Garth Brooks Rodeo song is playin.

[Texas Lawdog]

He lasted longer than most folks thought he would. He got a lot of folks that were bullriding fans to vote for him and his partner.

Got to work tonight, had some new up coming band signin' autographs, Randy Rogers Band, guess they get some air play.  Never heard of them before, playin' in town tonight. Went down and quized them out, no up-right steel, but a fiddle.  Took my hat off and asked them if they did any Hank the Father, ones wearin' hats took them off and the one guy started singin' Yer Cheatin' Heart.  Looked them up, modern country, but the fiddle player seems to be good.



Rita says this is the one they play on the radio:



Not quite what I really like, but they seemed like nice guys and came up here in a bit and checked it out, took pictures and video, who knows might be in their next video.

[Delmonico]

Guess they are from Texas:

[Texas Lawdog]

Del, I don't keep with the new country artists or groups these days. I've never heard of them and didn't know they were from Texas.

[Delmonico]

I hadn't either till yesterday, found the rest on the net.  Drove by "Uncle Ron's Wild West Saloon" on the way home, looks like it was pretty packed so someone must like them.

[Leo Tanner]

Some of you might like these guys.

I love the second one, especialy the chorus.  Here's the words...

High school seemed like such a blur
I didn't have much interest in sports or school elections
And in class I dreamed all day
About a rock 'n' roll weekend
And the girl in the front of the room
So close yet so far
Y'know she never seemed to notice
That this silly school-boy crush wasn't just pretend

Chorus:
Life goes by so fast
You only want to do what you think is right
Close your eyes and then it's past;
(it's the) story of my life

And I went down to my old neighborhood
The faces have all changed, there's no one left to talk to
And the pool hall I loved as a kid is now a seven eleven

I went downtown to look for a job
I had no training, no experience to speak of
I looked at the holes in my jeans and turned and headed back

Chorus

Good times come and good times go
I only wish the good times would last a little longer
I think about the good times we had and why they had to end

So I sit at the edge of my bed
I strum my guitar and I sing an outlaw love song
Wonderin' bout what you're doin' now and when you're comin' back

[Leo Tanner]

This one is fer the Trinman.  He turned me on ta these guys and they are a hoot.

[Texas Lawdog]

Leo, Those guys could have been the house band in "Deliverence"!

[Leo Tanner]

You said it!  All they do is cover hard rock and heavy metal songs in blue grass style.  The mandolin player is great.  It's one of those groups that would just be plain silly if they weren't so talented.

[Texas Lawdog]

Sometimes it's harder to do that than play regular music.

[Leo Tanner]

Johnny Cash tried ta do it and in my opinion failed miserabley.  I was bummed cause I liked him, it just didn't work.

[Texas Lawdog]

Let's not forget Pat Boone trying to sing heavy metal.

[Leo Tanner]

Let's not forget Pat Boone trying to sing heavy metal.

An lets not ferget him tryin ta sing Little Richard either.  That's about as funny as it gets.

[Texas Lawdog]

I saw Pat on a PBS special on 50s music a couple of weeks ago. He's holding his own in the age department.

[Leo Tanner]

His daughter was perty cute, but she missed the mark on this one.



I don't think she ever knew what rock 'n' roll was.  It's more like a lullabye.
