Not guitar this week. Paul turned me onto this Josh Turner dude. I posted some of his music last week. Here is on banjo.

I loves me some bluegrass music. Back when my mom was still alive, I used to drive up to St. Louis from Atlanta twice a year: on Thanksgiving and in the Spring. Driving through Kentucky I would pick up the public radio station from Murray State College and listen to a program called From the Back Porch where they would play blue grass and early country music. Made the miles go by faster.

Here’s Richard Thompson, singing his composition. Howza ’bout that? A Brit writing a song that sounds great on guitar and banjo.

This one is from Joe.

A young female uninformd voter is distraught because she fears her husband is having an affair, so she goes to a gun shop and buys a handgun.

The next day she comes home and finds her husband in bed with a beautiful redhead.

She grabs the gun and holds it to her head. The husband jumps out of bed, begging and pleading with her not to shoot herself.

Hysterically the female uninformed voter screams at her husband “Shut up, you’re next!”

A blonde from Ray this week.
