Oregon?

No, Oak Ridge . It's a lot harder to schedule a Nashville trip from Telford than from there. Of course I'm closer to Raleigh which plays in my favor and 65 minutes from my house to checking into my hotel and ordering a beer at the Orange Peel is a good trade off.

Makes way more sense now

I mean, a simpleton who does sales for Lowes could conceivably live in Oregon with a second home in Telford but not this one

I can enjoy garbage food. Even garbage movies on occasion. Just not garbage music. I need music that move me and gives me emotion. I'm all for Walker Hayes and Fl/Ga Line, etc moving y'all. It doesn't move me. Not even slightly. And regardless of talent, I can call it garbage if that's what I think it is. The theory that talent matters is silly. Fail Guy silly.

Good grief. Lol.

Okay. What is your favorite Turnpike Troubadours song and why does it move you?

I saw Chris Young on Long Island in the early spring. In between songs a lady yelled a song name at him from the crowd.
CY said “what?”
She yelled it again
CY said “that’s a song that’s from before my first album, nobody here knows that song…..how do you know that song?”
She yelled “please!!”
So CY walked a chair over to that side of the stage and started playing. He sang the first verse to her including the chorus.
He then said “are we good?”
She yelled “I love you”
CY said “ I love you too, is it ok if I go back to the play list?”

that’s a Tennessee guy.

I like to be up on the lawn at outdoor venues. The music is better back there.

I gave my heart to the Highway, she returned it full holes…

The Funeral. Personal reasons, I just feel it.

Interesting, but I was asking Bill. I don't feel the need to explain anything to you.

 

[Orangeslice13]

I like that one too.

I lost my dad recently and Mitchell Tenpenny has one called bucket list about the loss of his dad that’s been speaking too me lately.

49 Winchester is hard to turn off.

Not a bad tune at all, not my jam.

I think the years of the machine playing by their own rules makes me dislike radio country as a whole. Hell, these are the people who wanted Ragweed to wear cowboy hats, and threw Chris Knight and Ray Scott (obviously 2 different levels of songwriter) to the side when they wanted to do their own stuff.

I have a good friend who toured the west during the Salad Days when I lived out there, with PG, Cory Morrow, Boland, and Ragweed. The Nashville labels wanted them all for their fans, assuming there would be a carryover. And their wasn't.

Ask Bill if he's not to busy rocking to Wave on Wave.

I don’t waste a lot of time worrying about who did what to who and where each person is played. I have not listened to the radio in years. My play list are formed from who I’ve seen live. I spend a lot of time seeing live music.

The guys I look forward too the most I only get to see once every 2-3 years because they don’t come around here much and they are without a doubt the best live show you’re going to see.
I’d need to start a Bluegrass thread to discuss them but that would be me just talking to myself.

Wave on Wave?
As in Pat Green?

Well Wave on Wave is kind of a joke. George's Bar and Dancehall Dreamer albums were Pat Green when I heard him in the barracks and was enthralled.

I actually have quite a bit of Pat green on that playlist. That’s the red women approved traveling list. Lol

And that's the thing, man. Music.is left to the listener. Me and Bill are grumpy bastards who prefer our country music differently than most. Dont know if its zodiac signs or randomness but I just don't do toe tapping generic Lowes soundtrack stuff. A lot of people do, which is probably why I'm at the Grey Eagle on Thursdays instead of the Orange Peel

I’m just not a fan of the personal level of attack on someone and their music if it doesn’t fit a person’s preference. That’s where you and Bill differ. You like what you like and can discuss why without the need to trash someone who may like other things.
It’s easier for me to call out people for this I guess because I will literally listen to everything. I had tickets to Rage against the machine Sunday but didn’t go because the red women wasn’t feeling well and you know who I saw Friday.

Anyway. There’s no point in beating that horse any further.

I'm a way bigger jerk than Bill.
