I find that country music stirs my imagination for writing western romance. All those handsome singers tugging at your heartstrings while they croon about love lost & love found!

What a prolific composer he was, too.<br />I love cowboy music. Some years ago Time Life came up with 4 CDs of the most popular cowboy tunes. One of the doctors in the ER and I used to play these tunes at the nurses' station because the music has this ability to calm the nerves and quiet the tension of such a crazy place. Not everyone liked our cowboy music, but shoot, what do they know? LOL Country music, to my way of thinking, is the very spirit of our country. <br />You did a wonderful job presenting this article, Cheri. I wish you all the best. Sorry I'm late.

Much of the music now sounds more pop/contemporary.

It's disheartening that so many CW songs these days sound more like modern something or another--not soothing or sad or emotional. <br />I appreciate and agree with you that you decided to postpone the second Las Vegas post concerning gambling and the growth of the city. <br />Thanks so much.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16272417114895975742noreply@blogger.com
