Unfortunately, due to illness, there will be no blog tonight. However, I leave you with one of the best videos of Merle Haggard’s impressions around. The video is from Glen Campbell’s Goodtime Hour, and is featured in the country music on television exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum.
I moved to America when I was 10; Lawton, Oklahoma to be precise. It was there that I fell in love with country music. My parents were fairly sure I'd grow out of it when we moved back to England, but that was 5 years ago now.
I'm fairly sure that I was born in the wrong decade. I like real country music, I agree with Merle Haggard when he said that he knew that Elvis was a real man because he could hear him breathe on his records. Classical music makes me feel like I should be a better person, but country music allows for flaws. I've been writing music since I was eight, and I can't make music like Merle Haggard or Elvis, but I'm working on it...
