Cool, thanks, I've been thinking I need to get XM.

I've heard of some of those guys, I like Lyle and Jack Ingram.

I think Norah Jones, too, although she's hard to define in terms of genre.

She's from Austin? I didn't know that.

Keith Richards.

I swear he died 20 years ago. Just look at him!

Tupac Shakur

That's why you should get into Chris LeDoux or give him a shot.

His really old stuff when he was still a bronco rodeo rider is excellent.

He's as true a cowboy in the industry that's ever been.

Even though he died in his early 50's it was too soon. He's the performer that originally got me into country music.

Been to over 100 concerts in my life.

Most boring one ever was Norah Jones. She might be good at what she does, but never had I seen a more dis-interested audience in my life.

She was B-O-R-I-N-G. Terrible entertainer. Talented, but terrible.

Wikipedia lists her as Dallas. I could have sworn I had read that she got her start in the Austin clubs.

Oooo, I have a new choice. I just remebered Robert Johnson. Blues guitarist extraordinaire. Huge influence on Blues, Rock and even country. Plus the man could play like you can't believe. If you ever hear some of his stuff you will swear there are two guitars playing at the same time. RObert Johnson, I pick You!
