OBSERVATION

I have no doubt you had a great time with The Lennon Sisters.

I guess I'm alone in listening to Ralph Stanley and Ricky Skaggs.

Oh yeah...There was another show that my parents allowed me to watch on our black and white TV: Mitch, something. I learned how to dance watching that show.

Catfish:

At least you grew out of it...I'm still considered one weird, lame, white guy. There's worse I'm sure!

wvmtner - You may be alone listening to bluegrass over there in CA, but it's still alive and well in the Bluegrass State!

One thing similar amongst everyone is apparently a love for music - folks can obviously remember where, when, etc. My favorite song when I was about seven was I Never Promised You A Rose Garden by Lynn Anderson - I LOVED that song! Of course, that was during my Alabama years! Martina McBride has remade it - the good ones always come around again.

wvmnter ...

You aren't totally alone ... actually watched Ricky on TV the other night.

Since hubby doesn't like concert environments, we tend to go the smaller venue route ... places like the Crazy Horse Saloon ... artists like Kathy Mattea, Highway 101, Don Stevens, Mel Tillis, Dwight Yokum, George Jones ... ummmm, anybody notice a trend here?

Only real concert I have ever been to was Led Zeplin at the Forum in LA ... wasn't going with hubby then ... one of my wilder times in life. But after spending so much time in Houston on business, it was to be expected that I would eventually come to believe that if it aint country, it ain't music.

Catfish - You're talking about Mitch Miller and the bouncing ping pong ball. My parents made me watch that, too. I know all the words to 'This land is your land'.... come on, sing along with Mitch (or is it Moose?)

Ricky Skaggs is a very talented musician. I think he plays about 12 different instruments - kinda like Wayne Newton.

I also happen to like Led Zepplin FBM

FutureBack.Mom:

I'll stay all night long and listen to Dwight Yoakam. A lot of Kentucky hillbilly with a West Coast attitude. It works for me!

ClevelandDad:

You have a PM.

ClevelandDad ..

I can't remember if I liked the concert or not. Only thing I remember was "Stairway to Heaven", a very strong "aroma" in the air, and sitting next to speakers that were taller than me

URKillingMeBlue...That's right, Mitch Miller. I still know the words to This Land is My Land, too. Man, what memories.

For you country fans, if you haven't seen them, go see Brad Paisley, Sara Evans and Sugarland when they come to town. Paisley is as good a guitarist as you'll see. Keith Urban is also a surprisingly strong guitarist.

This thread proves one thing......the baseball season is over. Mitch Miller, the Lennon Sisters.......good grief!!!

Very true, bbscout...

let me reminience...my very first concert was at the Cotton Bowl...Elton John...wild glasses and all...next time got a little wilder..the Doobie Brothers...then there was probably the best of all...Lynard Skynard (before the plane crash,when they Were LS)...lots of smoke and bic lighters!! ...oh, but those were "the good old days"

Originally said by TRhit "I learn something from every single post--different slices of the pie of life"

Great description, but I have a question. What do you learn from Dib's slice of pie?

Had to observe the OBSERVATION.......

Stay awaaay from my windowwww...
Stay away from my backdoor tooooo......

And, listen to the music..........

06catcherdad:

Haven't you figured out yet that TRhit and Dibble are the same person?

I thought everyone was onto that one

bbscout ...

Just saw on TV that the Poseidon Adventure is going to be on NBC on Nov 4 ... in case you haven't seen it. Great oldies like Ernest Borgnine, Red Buttons, and Shelley Winters are in it ... a little improbable story line but entertaining.
