How It All Started For Me
The time came in my life where country songs just made more sense to listen to then my 90's rap or hip hop music. Half the time I couldn't either understand what words they were saying or why they were saying a particular phrase. When I did listen to the words more I got offended in what they were saying.

Patsy Cline Sings Blue
Songs with the word blue sang by Patsy Cline
One of, if not THE, most influential female Country singers of all times was Patsy Cline. She is one of my favorites of all time.

Follow along with me as I tell you about Patsy Cline as she sang about blue. Image Credit: Patsy Cline - The Definitive Collection product page.

Country Music Fest
Country Music Fest At Squidoo Music
Country Music Fest, used to be at the Squidoo Music blog. It was written for country music fans. At Country Music Fest, folks could catch up with top entertainers in the country music industry as well as the hit-makers from days gone by. It was an every Saturday event there for a few months, then we lost our leader to problems at home, and the blog eventually petered out. But, it was a lot of fun while it lasted. Here are a few sample posts:

Jamey Johnson Country Singer Songwriter
A Rising Star In Country Music
Jamey Johnson is a singer and most importantly a songwriter in Country Music. I believe he is one of the most important songwriters to surface in many decades.
