Political Bickering is out! Music is in!

The Bakersfield Sound saved me from sinking in the quick sand of political bickering.   When I grew up in the prairies of Saskatchewan and got my first guitar, songwriting became quite a natural outlet for me.  But I wanted to play rock n roll, and all that came out of my heart was country.  

I spent years running from my country roots, and rediscovered them through the Bakersfield Sound.  Now my passion lies in writing all sorts of styles of music, but never abandoning country again. 

For a few years, a diversion known as political, partisan bickering distracted me from my musical goals.  I've since followed my true passion and do my best to stay away from political bickering.  It goes nowhere, but music takes me anywhere I want to go.   

You won't find any political bickering here, only passion for the Bakersfield Sound and all of the new sounds that are evolving from that original, homegrown genre.  Of course, I'm talking about:

As soon as you duplicate your success with psycho-billy with homo-billy, I'm in.

When I was in High School, I was a closet Bay City Rollers fan.  I even thought Adam Lambert should have won American Idol. 

Is that good enough to bring you on board with the whole abandon-political-bickering-in-favor-of-music thing?

Let me find my hearing aid. I'll try to hum along. It's Gandhi's birthday so what the hell.
