Back In Time in Music
 

Call me "old fashioned" or call me "a nostalgic old fool" but there's not a much better way to spend the evening in the "gun room - library" cleaning, admiring, and fooling with nice ol' Parkers than with Pandora's "40's Music" or "50's" on the radio and an iced adult beverage of choice. It brings me back to the days when I was up in my room "doing my homework" (yeah, right!) cleaning and polishing that old Trojan twelve after a late afternoon's hunt - with my Mother's radio on downstairs playing some of those same tunes. I remember that Trojan was near perfect except for that 3/4" patch of rust scale on the left barrel right tight up against the breech edge.... oh, and except for that chip I broke off the end of the forend by pulling too near the edge. I've fixed a few of those over the years, and today there are better ways of removing a Trojan's forend.
But back to the topic.... Music can really take you back in time. Try it yourself sometime - it's a very pleasant way to spend an evening in the gun room.

you put ice in whisky????????? :shock:

It has been said (and studies have shown) that,
"You are now who you were then".

The music that you listened to as a teen and young adult is
the genre of music you prefer and identify with for your entire life.

Fine for everyone except those who grew up in the 80"s:rotf:

Gosh when I was a teen they didn't let us have adult beverages.

I enjoy that myself Dean , I tend to drift toward, Jim Ed Brown and Helen Cornelius " Duets " or Doc Watson ! Usually just a cup of Coffee for me , I don't touch the Hard Stuff " Coca Cola " !!!:rotf:

That's probably a good choice Russ. I respect a man who knows what he doesn't want in his life.

Mr. Romig. May I call you Dean?
I'm sure you're a clever man but let me assure you,
you're much more clever without my glasses

When I read your last post, I thought it read,
"I respect a man who knows what he doesn't want in his ice".

Most everybody calls me Dean.... some don't though ;)

I think you need to keep your glasses on... I have been attributed with saying things I never said - so it's 'life' not 'ice' in this case.
Now that you mention it though, I do respect a man who knows what he doesn't want on his ice. :rolleyes:

Did not work for me. Grew up listening to real Country music by George Jones, Jim Reeves, Johnny Cash, etc. Soon as I got a Chevelle SS it was Led Zepplin, Rolling Stones, etc. making me deaf, until disco, then it was back to country with Waylon and Willie until that died and was replaced by pop. At the CMA awards which I did not watch was there a Country artist present?

So now other than leftover Gordon Lightfoot and Emmylou Harris, it is only BLUEGRASS.

My sentiments precisely!!! I mean really :eek:
There are very few pure Country artists anymore - it's just pop culture stuff these days with an affected 'twang'... its sad.

Emmylou has the voice of an angel - I have always loved her singing.I saw her in concert once back in the late 70's with Willie and Jerry Jeff at a very small venue. She was fantastic and was sooo pissed that Jerry Jeff was drunk and Willie was stoned... she could have done that concert herself she was so incredible!
