Uh, Well, Maybe some of you need to go back and read Marc's original Post. He was talking about "Downer" Songs versus more Mid-Tempo songs. It is a fine line between writing good Ballads and more Up Tempo songs that will be placed and recorded. Not always easy. And of course music is always evolving. If you listen to some Early Bob Wills, he sounded more like Jazz than what later evolved into Western Swing. And of course there was a ton of music before Blues, for instance. I could mention Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, etc. Yep, there was tons of music before the blues. There was also Pat Boone and Perry Como, and the Brill building and theatre songs. But the main glue of 20th century music is the blues, there's no country without it Ray Classical I dont think influenced the 20th century as much but is still around

"If one man can do it, any man can do it. It is true. But the real question is, if one man did it, are you willing to do what it takes to do it as well?" –Brian Austin Whitney
