Don't worry Fred, this isn't even close to C&W, so your ignorance remains intact.

'bout time this got a positive comment again. It's very nice 'n extremely listenable. Never mind the ignorant naysayers.

I think you forgot a couple of clichés in there, Bubba.
Shure thang. Vietnam vets deserted by their wives, poker players down on their luck, truckers cryin' into their beer, jailbirds pinin' for the open road, cheatin' wimmin with peroxide hair and high-heeled leather boots (continues for 94 pages).

C&W - ugh! Just the sound of that horizontal guitar makes me think of songs about dead dogs, cheatin' wives, truckers, run-down bars, trailer-bound rednecks, and saccharine melodrama. As C&W goes this is just about listenable, but only just, though I dare say C&W fans think it's the bee's knees. 2 from the Nottingham jury.

Anyway, I wouldn't consider this country just because they used a pedal steel guitar, any more than the presence of a saxophone makes a song jazz or cellos make it classical music.

Too bad I don't know how to waltz.
Ditto and ditto.

Waltzes make me think about Julia Delpy singing her waltz for Ethan Hawke in "Before Sunrise". Great flick.
Not exactly an "on topic" point, I know, but under Parliamentary Procedure a Julia Delpy memory is always in order.
