Where did everyone go!?

So....where in the world has old Waldo been hiding? Hell, I don't know. Just haven't had a lot to say. Well....that's not exactly true, I've just been saying it somewhere else and as a result neglecting my own forum.

You know, I've always been someone who always wanted to be anywhere but here. So, where might that be? Right now, anywhere else but here is the Texas Hill Country. I've never been there, but based on the Red Dirt Music I hear each and every day I'm convinced that it will exceed my expectations.

Our economy doesn't appear to be improving and Nancy Pelosi appears to be doing everything she can to damage any momentum Obama and the Democratic party gained as they campaigned for "Change." Unfortunately, thanks to Pelosi, Washington is still more of the same and I fear that will never change unless people do everything in their power to remove the Cancer known as Nancy Pelosi. Her actions alone will ensure that we stay a Partisan government. It's her House, her agenda and she sets the tone. So, I ask you this, is the tone she's setting good for our country?

There's a reason why George Strait and Alan Jackson always seem to rise up out of the Pop Country yada that is Nashville's Country Music scene. They've always stayed true to their roots and their sound. They've rarely, if ever, strayed and as a result their music remains as good today as it was the first time you ever heard it. The suits in Nashville could learn a lot from these guys. They've paved their path by being true to their roots. They're believable and haven't let Nashville shape them. Unfortunately, Nashville's suits believe that everyone should look and sound the same. They believe each song should be written the same. There is no soul in the high rises of Nashville. I suspect that in order to find the real sound of Country Music you need to check the bars and honkytonks around Nashville where musicians haven't been corrupted by the waterdown suits who see nothing but dollar signs. Or, you could just head out to Floore's Country Store, Northwest of San Antonio.

Changes are coming....."May the wind take your troubles away."

No later.......
