Hi Theresa you are absolutely right we can change channels,Sometimes while channel surfing I don't know if I'm watching GAC,MTV,CMT,BET,or VH1,If your looking for anything even close to country music it will be on The Edge of Country,Occasionally on the[not so grand] opry between the teeny bopper rock and roll acts,you may see something REAL,like last weeks show the Great Mr.Gene Watson.Old geezers like myself that love real country music have no alternative,there is nothing there,don't you know.

For the record, the Music section of the Forum pertains to "musical topics not directly related to steel guitar."

A point I was trying to make upfront,being in the MUSIC section,does not HAVE to relate to steel guitar,don't you know.

Jim,hope you found the answer to your question.don't you know.

I think Garth is selling records.

What is this? A dis Garth Brooks thread? Garth Brooks is country. Live with it. I've heard some of his stuff and it's actually not bad. The only thing I didn't like that he did was the Chris Gaines fantasy.

Garth Who? Must of been before my time..

Like him or not what a impact he made (along with a few $$)in his 8-10 year stretch..I found his music good enough to own 3 CDs...Ok they were presents from my kids...

...I don't know too many single country acts who could draw the crowds he did or the Central park new York live show...Thats history for a Country performer...As I said like him or not..Seems more liked him than not.

I have liked some of Garth's early music. About Hank: Today I had a gig at an asisted living facility and I sang Half as Much, I can't Help it if I'm Still in Love with You, and Your Cheatin' Heart. Of course, THEY all still know every word, I haven't done any Garth songs and I wonder if any of the residents would know any of those song lyrics? The employess might....

PS. I saw Marty Stuart on RFD with Ralph Emery last week and he IS the real deal. He even has a museum with all kinds of "Country Memorabilia" plus a ton of pics that he has taken. There was a pic of Johnny Cash and Haggard that he took just before Johnny died. Touching. He also told a story of Flatt & Scruggs making amends. I like Marty. I have never met him but I recently wrote him a note telling him that his vocal of "Misery" with Asleep at the Wheel is what inspired me to record the song. Sometimes a song doesn't grab you until you hear it by an artist other than the original. At least, that's how it worked for me with "Misery".

Isn't part of it this? We have nothing against the
artist himself, give him his due, but it's the clue-less fans who are always ga-ga over the latest big
thing. At our gigs, the Garth fans wanted no part of
anyhing else, it was all Garth or nothing. They
couldn't sit thru a Haggard tune. They're all gone
now. It's the same mentality ten years ago that
would have made them "git the rope" if you tried to suggest to them that Billy Ray Cyrus won't be on your radio a year from now.

All this talk about Garth but no one really seems to know what happended to what this forum is about. His steel player, Steve McClure.

Jim,sorry you can't find the answer to your question,I DON'T know,someone help Jim out here,don't you know.

Jim Eller · Post by **Jim Eller** » 2 Oct 2007 1:53 pm

Charles,

This guy played with an international act for many years. I thought someone would know him or know what happened to him. It seems like, if ya ever owned a steel, someone on here knows ya.

Maybe playing with Garth was his demise

Garth's voluntary retirement = band's involuntary retirement .... isn't that the way it usually goes?

Charles Davidson · Post by **Charles Davidson** » 2 Oct 2007 7:06 pm

Jim,I tried to see if he had a myspace or something,no luck.Your right seems SOMEONE on here would know something,don't you know.

I like garth add me to the list.

Keith Cordell · Post by **Keith Cordell** » 3 Oct 2007 5:27 am

I don't have any personal animosity with Garth, other than his using the country label to sell lite rock. But to assert that Garth is country is preposterous. He is a rock musician, his biggest influence was James Taylor, and most of his career was developed in the same way as, say, the Backstreet Boys or Tiffany. he played commercial pop, did it well, but ruined country radio for most of us still listening for a little country music in there...
Incidentally, I am a rock lap steel player but I certainly don't decide that a band is worth listening to based on whether or not they have a steel player. Ludicrous.

Jim,had any luck finding Steve yet,Don't you know.
