I used to volunteer at a public radio station out in the country here that is now online to listen to. It’s known as ‘the station with something for everyone’ . You can look at their schedule and see if any of the music is to your liking. I enjoyed the older country (1920-1970) and bluegrass . The Bluegrass Roundup is probably the best in that type of music but there are many other types. I throw this out there in case you don’t have the music available in your area and don’t have satellite. www.wobofm.com Bart
Cool, Bart So hard to find the old stuff!!! listening now…
That’s a change, and here’s one if you want Dutch Music:- internet piraat 24 uur
@Snuffhead Dang, wish I could read that. What’s the shower scene all about LOL!
@ Bart, Lol! nothing spicy. Just Your CD, of the week? or do you want your music brought to the attention of the general public, then email …
Speaking of hillbilly music, I can play a mean jaw (sometimes called Jew) harp. Me and my uncle play together whenever I go see him, he’s the tenor and I’m the alto. Anyone else play?
I’ll play the broomstick bucket bass when I come 'round. never did but I got some skills boy.
@Juxtaposer: Good to hear. We got any saw-violin players out there?
My dad taught me how to play the Jews Harp as well (I know that Jaws Harp is probably probably the more PC term but it’s the name my dad gave it.) He also taught me how to play the spoons as well. It’s a cockney thing.
I’ve also seen it by the name ‘Juice-Harp’ - (nice visual image there!LOL) @Sfingle I’ve got an old, beat fiddle. Can’t seem to scratch out anything pleasing on it ,though. BTW , that reminded me of folks who play saws (like hand saws) Have you ever heard of such a thing.Is that possibly what you mean? I believe it was an Appalachian thing ( which basically means it probably came from Europe with the settlers) It would be useless to argue the origin of music styles, instruments, etc, … they are so interwoven, almost worldwide. Maybe that’s why I love the many types of music and obsolete instruments. Someone tries to argue about music and I just say SHUT UP AND PLAY THAT THING,SON! MMUK- Don’t see a spoon player too often!
I can play the nose flute 
What the heck,german speaking DJ?
@ Bart: yeah, I didn’t know what the saw thing was called; I have tried it a few times and it actually sounds pretty cool, the reverberations and wales that thing makes are unlike anything else I’ve ever really heard.
Well I might just ask here, what exactly does the term Hillbilly mean?
It’s a somewhat derogatory term used for people that live in rural areas of the US, it’s someone that lives in the hills or the country. It is mostly used in jest these days like the term redneck.
thanks for clearing that up, I thought it would be something like that, but it could be bad if I used that term without really knowing what it means…
I love old country music, but as far as I am concerned, new country is just re-labeled pop. Give me some Ernest Tubbs any day of the week.
@# cstokes4: I’m with you all the way on that one.
To each his own, but I embrace the term Hillbilly. As with anything, there can be negative stereotypes, but growing up in Arkansas, it is also used positively to refer to those of us from the Ozark and Ouachita Mountains. In fact, we have all sorts of products and food dishes that incorporate the term. Oddly enough though, I do hate the term Redneck. And with regards to pop country, I agree with 3. “I’m here to put the D*ck in Dixie, and the C*nt back in country, ‘cause the kind of country I’m hearing now days is a bunch a f*ckin’ sh*t to me They say that I’m ill mannered, and I’m gonna self destruct, but if you know what I’m thinking, you’ll know that pop country really sucks” Hank Williams III
LOL Snuffegnugen!! Yes, I can’t stand new country myself. It’s so close to “pop” type music it’s unbelievable. Ernest/Justin Tubb, Roy Acuff, The Carter Family, George Jones, Flatt and Scruggs, Jimmy Martin, some of my favorites. But there are some times when I can really appreciate classical to old rock to old British punk to Irish drinking songs, etc. My family was nothing but immigrants to the US in 1898 from Germany and I try not to lose sight of the bigger picture.(We were nothing but tenent farmers till we started choking chickens).Even if an ocean divides us, you will find we are all alike in SOME ways. Might as well take pleasure in the diversity this old world has to offer—you turn around and it’s nearly done! There, I went off on a tangent again…I raise a pinch to the country music lovers!
