Thursday Thirteen--13 Singers I didn't know I missed

On Monday we got a digital box for our cable TV and some new features, including the music channels. One is classic country. It plays, without voice overs or advertising, C&W songs from the 60s, 70s and 80s. I'm hearing singers I didn't know I'd forgotten. Most of the time I recognize the voice and song, but sometimes I have to walk into the living room and see who's singing. Guess I don't listen much to music radio any more. A few I've enjoyed this afternoon

JAM said...: I love it when I'm home alone, I put on one of the music channels. Usually something mellow and instrumental, or I find I stop reading or concentrating on what I'm trying to accomplish because I'm following the tune or lyrics in my head. The instrumental stuff doesn't distract me. It's a great unheralded feature of digital cable.; 6/21/2007 4:19 PM
Susan said...: My first favorite singer ever was Glenn Campbell. This was before my Donny Osmond days, so I was younger than 8. A while back I bought a greatest hits cd of his. Fun to listen every once in a while.

Can't beat George Strait, even when I'm not in a country mood...what a voice.; 6/21/2007 4:44 PM
RennyBA said...: This brought back some good old memories to me too - even some of them known in Norway at the time. I do remember Tammy and Hank at least:-); 6/21/2007 4:46 PM
Tink said...: I know some of them. I was a big Abba fan as a child, but I still play their music!
