folk rock!, pop hits! , classical...and country music ! What about it? Country music? Well, It's mostly associated with long hair and cowboy outfit, With the sound of the fiddle and sometimes the banjo on the background along with the crying sound of the slide guitar. If it's a pop hit? Then you always heard it being played on your favorite Radio tuners and usually at MTV channels. How about folk rock? Who could ever forget the famous "Father and " By Cat Stevens, Who changed his name to Islam and therefore suffered the consequences of being barred entering the US soil , suspected of being in cahoots with terrorist...(sounds weird to me). Speaking of Classics , Movie themes and "Ol' blue eyes" Frank, topped the list, and the mastery of Bethooven and the likes...aaah yes, the great tenor, Pavarotti! . When I was a ager, hair was that long to make my guitar playing more convincing to my buddies and especially among the teenage girls...It's also a way to be more appreciative and noticeable to your crush or that secret puppy love! Recalling back the yesteryears...On a corridor's bench at the high school campus , schoolmates milling around to hear you play the tunes. Some of the boys would even butt in, to render a song or two on the usual vacant period and noontime breaks.Group singing along, ballpens as drums stick, while some tapped their feet along the beat and its rythmic tempo. Now with the MP3's Ipod's and high tech media player, the access to song is more convenient, so one can easily learn to play and be adaptable. Unlike in the 70's wherein, some of us learner have to depend a lot on song books, Our famous "Jingle chordbook"(wonder what happen to the publication), and the more concealed pocketsize songhits at my favorite magazine stand, Slip it between your notebooks, on those unwanted academic class sessions. Every individual has a song or a music attached to him/her. Be it a theme song or the usual humming song while taking a bath. It always come and go no matter what. I guess that phrase line is indeed true... "Music makes the world go round" pic** James Noble-Corbis

Strange to post a list of real music types but then add 'country' on the end? (tehee) Yes, it does make the world go round and at times, can influence quite radical change! TG
