Tex Williams, Red Foley, Hank Snow... You get the idea... The Fore-Fathers of Twang.
Roly Poly scrambled eggs for breakfast, has bread and jelly twenty times a day.
Memphis by Ernest Tubb is just about the sweetest love song ever, and with Father's Day looming it's more than appropriate.
Awhile back I was looking for information on Lloyd Weaver and I found it with the help of Professor RockinGator and Tracy P.. What great guys!
...... I wish I never found out about that.
Show us what band you'd like to be the lead singer for.
I would say the Collins Kids, but with Lorrie on vocals they positively don't need me... Now Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys is another story, I adore Tommy Duncan - but they sure could use a female vocalist on occasion.
Take me back to Tulsa is my theme song - I am always saying I am too old to date and too young to marry!
Ahh!! Haa!!
Who is the best deceased musician/singer?

Well, there are some who I think we'd be better off without, but - Ahh!Haa! - The King of Western Swing - BOB WILLS is the answer.
What was your first concert? Does seeing the Jackson 5 at 4 years old count? No? Well then, it'd be Blue Oyster Cult. Aldo Nova opened for them and he was so bad he got booed off the stage.
If you could be on stage with any band, who would you want to perform with? Hrrmm... that's a tough one, isn't it? I'd have to say I'd like to get in on the double-bill of the Collins Kids opening for Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys. That'd be it, Rockabilly Royalty and the King of Western Swing. Yep, I'd like to sing with them.
That Green Day Rock Opera question? Ugh. Rock opera? Green Day? *rolls eyes*... Sorry, but after Tommy - all Rock Operas have been outlawed. There's just no reason to make another.
What do you think is the greatest pop song of all time? I answered this back in '08 when I was pining for the carefree days of my youth in the late 70s/early 80s. But I called it "Bold Claim #337: 5 Reasons Why Don't Say No is the greatest rock and roll song ever...
Phish? There are two kinds of people in this world - people who inherently KNOW Phish sucks and those who don't. I wanted to do bad things to my college roommate - like shave her eyebrows off or put Preparation H in her toothpaste tube... She would keep playing the same fricken' Phish song (Bouncing around the room) over and over again.
Ok, there you go, a month's worth of Music Qotws.
Did you ever watch Hee-Haw when you were a kid (1969-1992)? Do you remember the host, Roy Clark, a famous country musician? I just learned that he (Clark) beat out Hank Penny for the spot as the host of Hee-Haw. What a gip.
