>>I was raised on classical and Western music. We did not call it C&W then. One title that I love is, “If You Got the Money Honey, I Got the Time”! The only Western music I can tolerate is that which was popular around 1950-54.

http://www.cowboylyrics.com/tabs/frizzell-lefty/if-youve-got-the-money-6060.html My mom’s records were on 78’s. I have been purchasing the 78 selections my mom played, on CD and like to listen to them.
Bob Willis is fine with me. I do like Willie Nelson. To me he sounds so much like Hoagy Carmichael especially when he sings Stardust or Georgia, both of which Hoagy Carmichael wrote and sang!
