Dangit,Bill. This is BORING!
Quote from CNN.com (And you thought all news was either politics or dead children):
The previous record for complaints over a television commercial was the 860 filed against a Wrigley's gum commercial that showed a man regurgitating a dog.
First the premise. The CDs are stored in the book four to a page in a two over two pattern, so I will list as such:
Page 1 = top left CD
Page 2 = top right CD
Page 3 = bottom right
Page 4 = bottom left
...Keep repeating this clockwise pattern until finished.There are 26 pages, but I'll stop at 25 because who lists the Top 26 of anything? It should produce a fairly random sampling. See how many of these you have and/or how many you recognize. Tootles.

OK, there you have it. Not really that eclectic. I like singer-songwriters, country and blues and all have roots that sort of intertwine with each other. OK, OK...and I like the occasional bubble gum and disco hit also. Sue me, I grew up in the seventies.

** Bobby Bare's son.
*** Possibly illegal. I wonder if these old non-conformists care?

Haggard, RL Burnside, Neil Young.. okay, we've got some similar tastes.
When I saw Bare (before I read the note below your post) I kinda thought as in Bobby Bare. Another true story, here. My brother in law and him graduated from Rock Hill High School in Pedro, OH in the same class (probably 'bout two dozen class members). He played the bars over in Ohio then got that hit with with Detroit City. Not sure if he's got family still around here or not.
Not important, just thought I'd throw that out there.
Gunner, I think if you grew up in the south you can't help but like country and the blues. And you can't help but love it when the two get all mixed together.
Doing the list the way I did I left off a whole lot of really good stuff. But I was mostly operating under the assumption of "Nobody really cares about this."
I did get a kick out of noticing earlier that we both did a "music I like" post nearly simutaenously. What are the odds? Yes sir, I check out what you're doing over there several times a day. You're pretty prolific, dude, and check your computer pretty often.

Well, check it out again Traveling Ed as I tagged you with that thar music meme!
You look like me, so damned eclectic it's difficult to decide, "Okay, what 5 do I listen to a lot or a very important to me?" Geez.. I like 'em all. Can I make that a 500 song list, instead?
Yeah, south is blues, bluegrass, country. It all meshes in the south. When I was stationed in England in the 70s I hear Irish and Scottish folk songs for the first time & couldn't understand why I just liked them from the git go.
Then 25 years later, I get into genealogy and find that the Appalachian and Southern immigration pattern (Great Wagon Road) was Scots and Irish. There's my answer!
RL Burnside, I've got the Asspocket of Whiskey and one other (not in the music area at the moment). There's one version of Going Down South that I heard him and his son do on TV (PBS, maybe) some years back and damned if I can find it. It may not be taped, only on the TV piece.
Had to go eat the supper salad there. Man, we're eating late tonight, but summertime we tend to do that.
Checking computer - when we got high speed cable in this area I just went ahead and got both wife and I laptops, then did the router thing. I turn my laptop on in the a.m. and it stays on until I go to bed at nite. I had a pretty sharp electronic guy tell me the on/off on/off thing wasn't good for them, so I just leave it on. So, whenever I take a break from whatever I'm doing I generally just plop down in front of this thing and see what's shaking out there on the I-net. Being on all the time, it's no problem. And I'm "stealthed" behind the router, so I don't worry about being connected to the I-net fulltime.
