'nothing wrong at all, 'little unnatural fishing through ice and eating really smelly baked fish instead of frying perfecting good fish, but nothing exactly wrong ......

I'm no expert on music, but I like bluegrass and country music (at least the old style).  I would say the Carter family ,and  Mr.Roy Acuff were as reposible as any people for old type country music and then Hank Williams cam along as some weird kind of genius and took it to a different level.  Williams died before I was born, but A.P. , Mother Maybelle, The Carter Sisters, Acuff etc, all played long into my youth , and I heard H. Williams regularly on the radio growing up.  My father still travels to bluegrass festivals to hear that kind of music.  I went to the Ryman as a young kid and then once to the new Opry................
