A Love Note: Dear Luke Bryan

 

Dear Luke,

You are the best country music man out there!  Enough said. I am a total fan girl.

Love, PPP

In closing and in defense, he is the one in the baseball cap and leather jacket. !In true country boy style, he has a loving wife and two adorable sons, and he sings like an angel. Sigh! Plus, check out the second video from the Grammy nomination concert where he shows some moves like Jagger.

A Note: No More Banjoes

   I know Mumford and Sons is very popular right now. It's so popular, I've seen about 7 guys that look like Marcus Mumford in a simple supermarket trip, and they're all looking for artisanal pickles.

   All of a sudden, it seems that the radio has learned about this newfangled instrument called the banjo, the 5-stringed cousin of the mighty guitar that ruled rock radio for so many years. But I have a little known fact to the major radio stations, the banjo has been around for a while. If you've ever flipped on a country station for an hour, you;re guaranteed to hear several banjo songs. In fact, Rascal Flatts put out a song earlier this year, and it's called simply "Banjo."Like many other country song,s this song is about getting off the beaten path and getting down with nature, possibly with some moonshine and a creek that you can stop by and take a dip.

   So back to the popular music DJ's, who are claiming this is "revolutionary" or Dylan-esque", don't forget, banjos have been jamming on the radio for a good long time. #country
