This is the ubiquitous 'where do I start' post. I'll start with the name of my blog - 'Guitars, Motorcycles and Country Music'. The title comes from Dwight Yoakam's signature song of Guitars, Cadillacs and Hillbilly Music. I know the term 'Hillbilly' has become sadly a derogatory term and in no way do I mean to offend anyone. I'm a huge fan of traditional style country music going way back to The Carter Family, Jimmy Rodgers, Bill Monroe, Hank Williams, Patsy Cline, Johnny Cash and all of today's singers and groups keeping that sound alive like the Mavericks, Heather Miles, Marty Stuart and Dwight Yoakam. Any term can be made derogatory in the way it's portrait or stated and derogatory terms can be used in a non-threatening manner as well.
Why did I start this blog? I've had others and I'm not one to shout on a soap-box - but I was recently encouraged to start a new one by my motorcycle buddy and very dear friend, Sharon! http://www.sojournerrides.blogspot.com/
I'll try and keep this updated with my goings on about guitars (of little that I know about them), motorcycle (again, limited knowledge) and Hillbilly Music (today known more friendly as Country Music).
