His name is Jim Colegrove but I know him by his AKA, Coolgroove, because that is how I want to know him. He’s no youngster, a few years older than myself (I’m a fossil), and has been a guitar playing fool all of his adult life and most of his childhood. If I asked him if he thought when he was young that he would be still playing today, I am sure he would say no. It was a dream back in the fifties when he got his first guitar. He has relived that dream every day since because when he isn’t playing music, he’s thinking it. He got the bug early and the reason I’m telling you is that I got the bug too. I had a chance to live it but in those days you had to be a special breed to stick it out. I had the talent. I just didn’t have the discipline. Jim had (has) plenty of both.

A few weeks ago, the band’s name came up in conversation (on the computer, of course) and Roxanne put a bug in my ear. If they ever play in your area, she said, miss at your own risk, which is akin to a dare in my neck of the woods. Put Roxanne’s weight behind it and it becomes a double-dog dare.

I follow Jaimie Vernon on Facebook not because he has anything to say (kidding, Jaimie) but because he has a way of pushing buttons that bring out the worst in people. When he’s pissed or maybe just mischievous, he can bring out more of a knee-jerk reaction than an “I Love Obama” placard at a Tea Party convention. And he did. Last week. I can’t quite remember what he posted originally, but I do remember the responses, many of which make me shake my head. They weren’t pretty. His response to those was a bit of an I-get-this-kind-of-asshole-response-every-time-I-post-something-not-glowing-about-the-(insert iconic idol here). In other words, he, like myself, does not love The Beatles just because they were The Beatles and God forbid he make such a statement public.
Frank Gutch Jr: When I Want Country, I Want Country!

And not the crap they’re telling us is Country. It seems like forever ago that I cared about Country music. Nashville pretty much put me off my feed when they started promoting artists like Brad Paisley and Taylor Swift and The Jayhawks— whom I like, don’t get me wrong— or maybe what I mean to say is, I don’t hate. But it just ain’t Country, my friends, and that’s the truth.
