   Then it's a matter of preferences. I can dig that.   
      
   > What are your thoughts on the Buckeroos version of Up On Cripple Creek ?   
      
   I like it! I'm more familiar with the version by The Band, but the Buckeroos   
   sure do their version close, and I'd have no problem doing that one! But of   
   course, to me, that's more rock & roll, so it's not Real Country ;)   
   I'm kind of a 'purist' about that too - Real Country is from the 1960s and   
   before ;)   
      
   > And, I gave you an easy one there. You can look that song up on youtube.   
      
   I just did.

   With Merle Haggard, it's a nice instrumental tune, and not very long - but   
   that can always be extended, I wouldn't mind playing along, I could get into   
   it.   
      
   > Or Gary T.....'s recording about of Could have been Nashville ?   
      
   Couldn't find a Gary T, but did find a Gary Stewart doing a tune called   
   "let's Go Jukein' On Nashville Now".   
   Wouldn't mind doing that tune either - nice piano parts.   
   Was that the tune?   
      
   Once again, it's kind of a pseudo postcountry, what might be called   
   'alternative' 'country' i.e. Not Real Country.   
      
   But I'd also have no problem playing the Real Country tunes from the '60s   
   and before.   
      
   > See, my point is, we live in our musical world. I don't do, or care what   
   > the current pop craze is.   
      
   I couldn't care about that either, because I like tunes on their own merits,   
   and that's all that matters.   
      
   > Crazy, I know, but that's how it is.   
      
   No, it's about preferences - nothing wrong, or crazy, with that.

   Although I'm not really into polkas, my Soulmate does play accordion and we   
   jam that way sometimes.   
      
   > We don't have time or interest in music aimed at 13 year old girls.   
      
   That's an interesting way to look at it. As I said before, I like songs for   
   their merits, not who they're 'aimed' at or anything else for that matter,   
   and speaking  of which, who was the kind of material you like first 'aimed'   
   at?

   So far I've found 5 good songs of hers.
