RIP

Also on a country note, one half of the duo Montgomery Gentry was killed yesterday in a helicopter crash on his way to a concert in New Jersey.

Gypsy Woman was one of the first country songs I liked in the 70's alongside a spot of Kenny Rodgers.

Tough to be country AND cool, but his songs always seemed heartfelt and genuine.

"It's a measure of people who don't understand
The pleasures of life in a hillbilly band.
I got my first guitar when I was fourteen
Now I'm crowding 30 and still wearing jeans."

(Now I'm crowding 60 and still wearing jeans!)
