Quote:Quote:nice, reminds me of MerleThanks, Steve. Merle is one of my big influences. I love the alt-country stuff. It's sad to see that Merle, J. Cash, etc....all of those greats just don't get played in Nashville that much anymore, although Johnny Cash had a video out recently. So now, what was mainstream is too gritty. Even though Cash died years ago, they took some old footage and used it for the new video....I believe it's called, "Sooner Or Later God Will Cut You Down." Lots of stars did cameos in the video like Johnny Depp. Maybe you've seen it.Hey chits!Ray Price, Haggard and Willie were jes here on the coast. Lovely. Ray's still got an amazing voice. Willie's still talk-singin'.

Hey Squid...A favorite LINE?? LOL... I know you 'fessed up... But I think you crossed the "line" regarding "line"... (But anyone who recalls "Tuning My Guitar" by Melanie is OK in my book)... Casey

I'm partial to all of my lyrics, but what pops into my head right nw is from a song called "When I Was A Boy"Big plans, with unreachable goalsLike trash on the side of the roadThought by now I'd have got it all worked outWell, that's just how it goes.

This song sticks in my head 'cause of the actual message that ain't no woman got nothin' on my wife, as far as I'm concerned. Songs called "She's Got Nothin' On You"Look at that ladyswayin' as she walkslong legs underneath her frame so tallShe drives a rag-top 'Vette that'spainted blueBut, She's got nothin' on you
I shall wipe every tear from their eyes....
