My favorite music is Stevie Ray Vaughn style blues. I like Kenny Wayne Sheppard, Eric Clapton and Cream, Cheryl Crow and such like. However, if I listened to that while I was working on my tear, I'd stop working and listen to THAT. So when I work, I usually listen to country because it's a relaxing music to have in the background.
In Nashville, there aint no shortage of counrty stations but they either play the old "cryin in your beer" stuff or they just wear out the brand new stuff. I've heard so many of the same tunes so many darn times that the words are all running together into one big messed up country song in my head.
"Dear Mom and Dad please send money, 2.7 seconds on a bull named FuManChu, suds in the bucket and the clothes on the line, monday morning church, baby cut that coupon out...........AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGG!"
I can't sleep at night.

I am NOT a complete idiot! Some of the pieces are missing.
