Lew and I enjoy watching the country music award programs when they are on television.
The CMA Awards show was on a couple nights ago. We DVR'd it for viewing at our own leisure. We watched about half of the program last night.
I think that I could have been a somewhat decent country music singer, but watching these awards shows always reminds me of why I never would have made it.
You have to be able to write your own songs, but I might have been able to do that. Just pick a topic, write about it, and you have a country music song. (Don't believe that? There's a song about a "Big Green Tractor.") So, no, it's not the song-writing.
It would be helpful to be able to play the guitar. I can't. But as I said, it would be "helpful" -- not a deal-breaker.
OK, I guess you have to be able to sing somewhat. But I can sing as well as a certain teenage country music star, who shall go nameless here. (She's a lovely, likeable girl....but I don't understand her musical appeal. She is a mediocre vocalist, at best. And all of her songs sound the same to me!)
So...finally...the real reason I could never be a country music star:
I refuse to wear those high-heeled boots. I would fall flat on my face....
