Browsing the Wimp.com site, came up with this. Kinda neat actually.

Japanese C & W band doesn't sound too bad. Not a fan of C&W but some of the oldies do bring back some memories, some of which have been long forgotten......and some are better off staying that way. My life has taken some interesting turns over the years, one thing I've noticed was rather surprising to me. If you're still in your 50's and under and feel your life's goals and personal attitudes/opinions are set for the rest of your life.....you have a big surprise coming in another 15-20 years. 

Turn the sound on, these guys ain't too bad.

"A Fool Such As I" made popular by Hank Snow who was from Liverpool, Nova Scotia. Not many Country Singers from Nova Scotia, Canada.

John that brings back memories. I no longer pay attention to today's C&W as it isn't.

My favorite was "Golden Rocket" by Hank Snow, among many others.

You are absolutely right, At 88 senior years, I've seen a lot more than I expected to, at 58.
