Music of the good Ole days!!!

[gen70]

Ok everybody check this out. I am a collector of old 50s 60s jukeboxes. I have 16 jukeboxes in my house, yes my house. 6 in the living room and I restored all of them. one in each bedroom 2 in the garage and 2 in my workshop and fixing a couple now. One has all my Elvis 45s from the 60s yes 100 Elvis records in the jukebox. All my records are from the 50s and 60s. What else would you put on a old jukebox. I'm called the jukebox man. Oh I have a wallbox in the kitchen by the table and one in the bathroom. I know I'm sick. LOL You need music everywhere I was told at one time. Gosh I love this site.

Thats way cool "Man". I'd like to have one of those wallboxes. Where could I find something like that?

Does anybody remember or see Hank Williams Jr. at the LongBranch Saloon on S. Agnew about 77 or 78? I was there but, not real sure of date.

I remember the concert but not the year. Maybe 77.

Saw David Allan Coe, when he was good at the Diamond Ballroom 76.

Also, would Taylor Swift have won all the awards back in the 60's???

No, tweenagers were known to play with toy dolls back then, not worship Taylors.

Thank You. I'm glad she won (I think) but like George Jones said: "That just ain't country"...

There have been (too) few female country artists in the last decade plus. Lots of lovely lasses have done well via the Nashville machine, some young, some less so, all with very decent pipes. However, commercially viable, even amazingly so, does not make something country. It just makes money.

Yep, you know Oklahoma sports the best female artists for country....Reba, Wanda Jackson, Norma Jean, Those ladies are the beginning of the current country phenom...

I noticed now days they might have a little fiddle or some bango in a song and call it "Country" when to me it's far from it.

I liked Patsy Cline....really like Loretta, Reba and Dolly....Martina McBride is good....Then of Course Kellie Pickler is holding on to the Country along with the sassiness of Miranda Lambert.......But then there is dear old Gretchen Wilson...."Red-Neck Woman"...I like the others they just aren't Country....
Jennifer Nettles (Sugarland) is so much like Janis Joplin that it is "wild". I guess the country story telling is what I look for....."you belong to me"...and "15" is more for the teenie boppers....and I'm Not against that but, it's just not country. Miley Cyrus (Phenom specialist) wasn't country...just like Annette Funicello wasn't Rock 'n Roll.

I liked Patsy Cline...

Now we're talkin'!

[papaOU]

What about Emmylou Harris, Kd Lang, Tracey Nelson?

I agree that country today is not country of the 1960's. But how many awards would Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Charlie Daniels been given as performers?

If you ask me Garth Brooks is the most no country artist without talent to be called an icon. If he is/was a great performer why would he need the pyrotechnics?

Well alrighty then! Here's what makes this a "forum". I disagree with you about Garth. He DOESN'T need pyrotechnics. He is best when he is just one guy with a guitar, singing his own music. I've heard him with my own ears and he does a great job with just about any song he sings. He and I have a mutual friend who has a lot of the inside scoop on Garth. He has sold so many records because he has true talent and was savvy enough to hook it up with some marketing genius.

I'm probably one of the first to speak up when people without legitimate country credentials turn up as "country" artists, but he's the real deal. (In my humble opinion)

Hey:...once agan, I'm sorry I missed Saturday's meeting....Other things at hand...One of Oklahoma's own Country singers and personality Jody Taylor (of Jude 'n Jody) passed away Saturday. Quite a shocker to me as he was a very good friend...remember his family at this time if you would.....

[flippity]

a friend of mine said she saw a teenager with a CD called "Oldies" it was fully of 80's music. I feel old.
