Murr Brewster is a new site for me and already a favorite.<br /><br />My wife just brought home a CD collection of Bill Monroe from the library and it drove home again just how on the edge these guys were. We tend to think they were really successful because they are famous but not so. They worked their butts off just to stay above water. Really gives you empathy for folks like Woody Guthrie who did during the Great Depression.Mr. Charlestonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17497415823443875308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6576200516116402874.post-90846375757961536262011-02-28T20:29:05.296-05:002011-02-28T20:29:05.296-05:00"If you thought the sheriff's receptionis..."If you thought the sheriff's receptionist was astonished, you ain't seen nothing until you've seen the pimply-faced staff at Long John Silver's when confronted by a Nashville cowboy with a "buy-one-get-one-free" coupon."<br /><br />Holy Hallelujah, I have hit blog pay-dirt (via Murr Brewster's site). As Minnie Pearl would say, "I'm just so PROUD to be here!"<br /><br />My son lives and works in Nashville, behind the scenes in the music industry, and gets to meet the folks who really make the music and the myth of Music City. His mommy gets great name-dropping rights and the best inside stories ever. We often forget that it all started with the likes of Porter Waggoner and Wally Fowler. Snake oil and twang, but hugely heartfelt.Nancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15166865250789996825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6576200516116402874.post-89962907685698472772011-02-28T07:18:24.068-05:002011-02-28T07:18:24.068-05:00DonnaJean... where the hell have you been?
