A little bit of country

Hey y'all:

Today is my brother Chuck's birthday, so I'm sending him a Country shout-out.  Born under the Aquarius sign, apparently he had Country in his heart right from the beginning and has morphed into a big fan, bringing some of us along for the ride. Yes, I attended the Brooks & Dunn farewell tour last summer and really enjoyed it-- a lot of crossover between rock and pop and country. Of course, the show wouldn't have been complete without the requisite patriotic song and marching Marines (or rent-a-marines)--way too hokey for a cynical child of the 60's like me. The best part of country is that they sure know how to tell a story and play the fiddle.

.

Even Gary has gone a little country, playing a Hank Williams CD the other night, whiney guitar and all...Hey, good lookin', what'cha got cookin'...  It's all part of his fascination with early rock and roll and that trip to Memphis. Maybe Nashville, next time?

So, dear brother, not many cowboys up there in the Bronx, but this song's for you: (and to think you were born in a smoky, river town....)  Happy Birthday!
