Ah, a subject I love. Have over 150 tunes on my iPod, most of them real old country. I can remember trying to get the Opray on the old car radio. WWVA, Wheeling West Virginia. Some nights it came in, some nights not.
a few favorites: Dear John, Honky Tonk Angels, Frauline, any Hank Williams and Webb Pierce.
Just watched Brother Where Art Thou for the third time. Great flick, good music.
