<VV> Both Kinds of Music and a Greenbrier Sighting on the Net

[kcvair at netscape.com]

some people from Michigan are hard to understand,  I don't know that it's Southern though.  I've always heard that the meaning of "hillbilly" meant "Michigan Farmer".  Don't know if it's true.  Ken

A friend  of mine, John Lanese, just emailed me a link to his band's  MySpace
site.  He is making country music out in Wacousta, Michigan,  which is
probably enough in the country for him to be authentic.  He  also happens to
have a '61 Greenbrier that he hopes to eventually turn into  a big rolling
instrument case.  I noticed a couple of pictures of the  beast on his site;
one in the PICS section (have to be a member of MySpace  to go there) and one
attached to the song, "The Way She Talks to Me."   



Michigan is too far north to be real country--"Country and Western" was a  
term originated by the recording companies to refer to what most  
people--then--called "hillbilly" music, which originated in parts of the nation  where 
people had Southern accents. This music became popular nationwide in the  '60's 
thanks to singers such as Jim Reeves.
