Did you all see the awards and the speech that was given by
Mr. Bicep himself?  yuk, give it a rest.  How dare he mess
with Travis Tritt when he's not around to defend himself and
I know he would have.

Any one else have comments about the show?

I like "Sure Love" but didn't find it as captivating as most of the songs
on "PAST THE POINT OF RESCUE".  There are others on "SURE LOVE" that I
thought were more gripping, such as "Someplace Far Away", told from the
perspective of a boy listening to his parents argue over whether to go in
search of gold during the Gold Rush era, and "Daddy's Oldsmobile", which
is also told from the perspective of a young boy, and is a bit of a tear-
jerker.  On the whole I don't think the album is as strong as PTPOR, but it
ain't bad.

Whoa, down boy!  ;-)  Chill out just a little....personally, Lyle got me 
with his lyrics.  That's where his originality shines, more so than in the
musical side.  Besides, everybody cops from somebody when it comes to music.
The question is, can you imprint your own style on it.  I think Lyle's done
that by adding lyrical twists to his songs that can leave you rolling on the 
floor.

For the record, I only own one Lovett album, I've never seen him live, and 
I'm not a fanatic.  But I happen to think the guy's got something pretty

Hi!!!

I will soon be celebrating an important birthday (21) and my friends have
promised to take me out to a dance club or bar of my style...country.  The
problem is that none of them are interested in country music, and I dont
know where to find a good place, so.....

Can anyone out there tell me of a good place to celebrate a 21st

I just picked up another Jerry Douglas CD.  He's the dobro-meister who
has been retired into the hall-of-fame by at least one guitar player's
magazine at what looks to be about 35 years old.  

If you haven't heard him and like dobro music, buy *any* of his stuff.
You can also hear him on just about everybody else's albums too.

Another plug: The Chieftans (Irish group) have an album of C&W out with
the aforementioned Mr. Douglas, EmmyLou, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Chet
Atkins, etc. participating.  It's really good - I think there's a lot
of common history between the two forms of music, and the Chieftans
really wail on things like "I Can't Stop Loving You".  Lee Bob sez check
it out.

I'm happy to identify one of my all time favorite songs "Did she mention my 
name?" by Gordon Lightfoot.

It's so nice to see an old friend and pass the time of day,
talking about the old times, a million miles away.
Is the home team still on fire, do they still win all their games?
and by the way, did she mention my name?
Did she mention my name just in passing?

Not perfectly accurate but it's the best I could do on the spur of the 
moment. It's on his greatest hits album. Worth the price of the album.

This is kind of the same feeling I had...  I saw lots of remakes of
other artists' songs on "Voices in the Wind" and that's what's kept
me from getting it.  After hearing Kelly Willis' version of "Drive South"
I don't think I could even picture Suzy Bogguss doing it.

It was the name of a wooden dummy that used to be an act on the
Grand 'Ole Opry back around the time Hank Sr. was playing there.
I forgot who the ventriloquist (?sp) was. Every once in a while
you'll see an old picture of the guy with his wooden dummy.

Hank Sr. used to call Hank Jr. that when he was a kid and it 
stuck.

I believe "Bocephus" has origins beyond that, but that's where
Randall Henry Willams, Jr. (a.k.a. Hank Jr.) got his nickname
from.

I saw REK Jr. relatively recently at the Birchmere in Alexandria. (Just

i recall Keen saying that he and Lyle were not roommates, but that they

That's neat... Are you saying that Lyle was just joining in the song fest
for fun or that he actually used to be a backup singer for Nanci Griffith?

One of Nancy Griffith songs that Kathy Mattea does so well is "Listen to
the Radio," from the new album "Lonesome Standard Time."

skip
----------

   This Austin City Limits looked to be mid-80's - judging from the
song selection. Nanci did a number of songs from her "Last of The
True Beleivers" album, which was released in 86 or 87?

   My CD's are at home; can anyone look the release date up?

   But Lyle did sing backup on several of Nanci's Rounder releases of that
era. As a matter of fact, he is one of the street corner dancers pictured
on one of Nanci's albums, might be "True Beleivers". I believe that he and
Nanci attended U.Texas (Austin) at the same time.

   I don't think Lyle got the "Large Band" going until 89 or so. I
think that is the first time that I saw him/them. (Outstanding show, BTW)

   Kathy Mattea has also recorded "Love at the Five and Dime".

   I just hope that Nanci gets away from the pop sound of her last few
albums and moves back to her folk/country roots.

   My opinion, of course.

Lucinda Williams wrote it, and she recorded it on her self-titled album in
1989.  Mary-Chapin Carpenter just recorded it on her 1992 _Come_On_Come_On_
album (and I think it was released as a single, intended for play on adult"
contemporary" stations).  The easiest way to tell them apart (other than the
drastic differences in Lucinda's and Mary-Chapin's voices) is that MCC's
version has a piano introduction, and Lucinda's starts with two quick drum
beats.
