I'm not big on country music either, especially the modern stuff. I can appreciate Johnny, Willie, Patsy, Gentleman Jim Reeves, a few others but not many.
I was a dj for a May-September wedding a few years ago, and the bride only wanted disco and '80s pop, and the groom only wanted hard-drinkin' George Jones songs from his crewcut days. I don't know if that marriage lasted.
I've actually played in a couple of country bands. Both mostly covered newer material, but did dig into some of the oldies. By the era I was doing that, country wasn't that much different than rock.
Hmm... I actually own a couple of steel guitars and a I have at least one lap steel guitar here somewhere.
Well, I don't have any steel or lap steel guitars, so if you have any to spare...
LOL If you ever make it out to Maine, I'll let you play one - or all of 'em that we want to dig out and set up. They're not set up or even out of their cases, 'cause how often am I gonna need that? If I had to take it, I'd probably just use a slide and call it 'good enough'.
But, if you ever get to my neck of the woods, I'd suggest letting me know ahead of time to see if there's something we can set up.
