I wonder if there is a "how to write a country song" counterpart to this.
Michelle What do you get when you play a country song backward? You get your job back, your house back, your wife back, your truck back...
I guess if your wife left you and took your dog and your truck, and you only want your dog and truck back, you could be a country songwriter! :D

If you hire a wino to decorate your trailer, you could be a country songwriter. If you someone from HGTV to decorate your condo, ain't no way are you gonna be a country songwriter!

Location: Connersville, Indiana | I don't wear cowboy hats, no pointed toe, manure smelling boots, I don't have one tan arm from sticking out the window, with my sleeves cut off, no pepsi can on the center counsel to spit in, and I will not say "YEEEEEEE HAAAAAA" at the end of a song. I guess I'll stick with the blues. Being a country singer is too much work. |

Well, I was drunk the day my Mom got outta prison.
And I went to pick her up in the rain.
But, before I could get to the station in my pickup truck
She got runned over by a damned old train.

I felt so low down deep inside, I threw my drink across the lawn
From Ukulele Blues by Martin Mull and his Fabulous Furniture. He played it on a uke with a baby bottle for a slide. |

You know why county singers always wear snap shirts instead of button, They missed the class on unbuttoning a shirt. And do you know why county bars they line dance. It's because they forgot to bring a date. :eek: Oops did I say that. I wold still rather play the blues. A blues Name: Rotten grape Kitty Bush. :D |

Location: Connersville, Indiana | And you must use a slide to play the blues, Not one of those, table looking guitars, that the sound emulates scratching a chalkboard with you fingernails. You must carry a straight razor if you want to play the blues, not a bic disposable or electric razor, a good old fashioned, sharpened on the leather strap straight razor. :D :D :D |

Actually, a beer bottle works really well...preferably one that is not half full of beer (it's a good idea to always consume the contents before using the container...) :rolleyes: ;) :D |
