   No, not weird, just being safe.

   Then you know how to write some Originals too!

   By Applying the Factors present in the old classic country to brand new   
   Original songs!

   Then Write a Brand New Original song with the Factors conducive to liking   
   the song, found in the original Dolly Parton song.   
      
   Even though the new song will sound Nothing like the 'oldie', if it has the   
   things, the  Factors so well-liked, or Loved in the Dolly Parton song, the   
   brand new Original will be just as well-liked, and even Loved much moreso,   
   because it will be Brand New, and FRESH!!!

   But it'll be when you say "I WILL", and start Writing, that things Really   
   get Awesome!!!

   That's a common situation ;)

   That's some cool jazz! And country? What a combination ;)

   Country will make a comeback ONLY when it sounds like the '60 and before!

   So start writing and take it the rest of the way, to where it belongs!!!
