That is why the songs of Ramsey, Berry, Holly, Hunter-Garcia et al must never be forgotten even if they get virtually no radio airplay.<BR/><BR/>They are our heritage on the truest sense of word.Shaun Mullenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14964214385216513188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19217611.post-1158172359887583052006-09-13T14:32:00.000-04:002006-09-13T14:32:00.000-04:00Love Hunter's riff about the closing of an era rat...Love Hunter's riff about the closing of an era rather than the heralding of a new one. When I listen to The Dead now and they sing "Tennessee, Tennessee, there ain't no place I'd rather be..." or "Driving that train, high on cocaine," I hear old music tied to a more authentic America now gone. In 1979 I took a Greyhound bus from New York to Arkansas to check out a college. Throughout Tennessee an agricultural backwater unfolded before my eyes. A Confederate flag hung from the post in main square of Jackson. Today it's one big sprawl and mall landscape. Trains are a part of history and love of your home state also an antiquity. Ballads, and blues, and rivers and belles, traveling a wide open country; a world gone buy in that music.highwayscriberyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13766362837248876320noreply@blogger.com
