Thanks, Magne. smile

The only thing that comes round and round again are people who complain that the "newer stuff just ain't as good as the older stuff." And that's because as Camus noted, to paraphrase, it's the early stuff, the art we experience in our youth, that opens up our hearts to beauty, and the rest of life is an attempt to recreate that, to find that again..

I mean what, we should write Country Music in 7/4 time about Gilgamesh and use flatted ninth chords?

Country Music evolves like everything else, but the essence of what it is--the chord progressions and guitars and the bulk of it's lyrical message and attitude--these are the main things that make it Country, not whether it sounds like an Owen Bradley production or not. Technology affects just about all musics, except possibly traditional folk, played on one guitar by a campfire, with the tape recorder turned on..
