  CATERGORIZING COUNTRY MUSIC As long as we are discussing entertainment perhaps you can give your assistance to yet another quandary. Country music. Many of you probably do not like Country Music, but have you heard any of it in the past few years? It has changed. It has changed so much that there is an argument that it isn't even Country anymore. Many CM artists are even crossing over into other categories like Pop. Even though much of the sound is equal to Rock or Pop, there are still qualities to me that categorize it as Country. Lyrics, nasal voices, and instruments like the pedal steel. Yet, many argue that if the fundamental sound has changed by the use of excessive electric instruments it is not Country. What makes Country Music country? Is there still enough distinction to even have a Country category?   6/23/2004 08:20:00 AM

About Me

Name:

I received a MA in a Sociological Discipline then married and worked 6 years as a Prevention Specialist. Now, I homeschool our two boys. I am renovating a 1925 home. If I ever finish it, I doubt I will do it again. During "my time" I oil paint and render pictures in colored pencils. Joining in my husband's interests in Old-Time Mountain Music I sing and bang on the guitar. No two friends of mine are alike. I surround myself with intellegent, eccentric, good hearted people. As a Protestant Christian I adhere to no one particular denomination. Spirtuality and growth are more important. Some have called me stubborn; I prefer strong willed. I strive for competency without the fear of change, and I enjoy sarcastic humor.Classic literature and classic movies can't be beat. You can never go wrong with chocolate. Shrimp and steak are my favorite dinners. I only consume vegetables on occasion for nutritional purposes. To find out more you'll just have to keep reading my blog entries. Be sure to leave a comment so I can get to know you too.
