"Ghost"

Dekay; I'm broad minded enough to accept Peggy Lee's "Ghost Riders" as C/W. Along this line, I also really like Gogi Grant's "The Wayward Wind". I was a pup when these two were in their prime :>) Craig

lucky you, garfish. i was already a dog when these gnostic homilies were released. ( BTW, angela, i'm trying to use the word-a-day method for the expansion of one's vocabulary.)

Cornfed; I'll be content to let you define the pup- vs -dog thing. I was age 12 in 1955 when TV finally made it to our 'hood in N.Dak. What's this have to do with music? Well, mid-50's "Hit Parade", and "The Ed Sullivan Show" were family favorites, and I remember Peggy Lee's and Gogi Grant's music; also Teresa Brewer, Doris Day, Andy Williams etc. And I remember Elvis' debut on Ed Sullivan Show-- complete with waist up video only. Later, I really liked Elvis's "Love Me Tender"-- maybe somemore guilty pleasure music. BTW, I think Albert Porter, and SD Campbell may be right in there with us agewise. I used to think I was the oldest "codger" on this site. Gnostic homilies?? -- gotta' get out the Funk and Wagnell's. Cheers. Craig.

Better late than never -- count me in. This is real roots music. Funny -- bad C&W is known for its wretched, perfumy excess. But one thing I love about good C&W is the discipline and good decision-making (when to play, when not to) of its musicians. Plus, I admire country because it takes a special breed of musician to take on the pedal steel guitar, a complex and finicky beast of an instrument. Some great voices have been mentioned already. I'd add Kitty Wells and Mel Tillis. Ernest Tubbs, Ray Price... there's lots.
