I bloody well need to watch loads of Bond films, but they're just those kind of films that you can never be bothered to go out of your way to watch, unless it's on TV, and I hardly watch TV now anyway.

what the hell Jon!

thats crazy shit, gotta at least watch the 80s films, they're brilliant.. adn Connery...

Cash, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard. Quite a few recently, i also enjoy a lot of american folk music.

So yeah basically country rules. Well the modern stuff is mostly horse shit.

I'm not going to make a new thread for this, and as this is kinda on the movie topic now...

Poor Mr Neilsen! First his wife dies in Fallout 3, now this...

Connery did Thunderball and Diamonds Are Forever. Both sort of... shit. He's deservedly classed as the best Bond really. Had Dalton done more than two films, I'm not sure he'd have done a shit one, though, seeing as he actually read the books and cared quite a bit about how he portrayed the character. It's a shame Connery didn't do On Her Majesty's Secret Service because that's a great Bond film despite the fact Lazenby cannot act.

^ All big influences on me growing up, dad was in a country band and is one of the main people credited by the BBC for bringing country to the UK, he won loads of TV talent shows, supported merle haggard as his backing band a number of times (Johnny cash was too wasted to play). Loads of good stories if you ever want a pint with him.

There was an old story about the mayor of Kentucky (at the time) made him an honourary colonel but we never believed him. With the power of the internet i mailed the Kentucky mayoral office and the new mayor confirmed it and sent him a certificate of his rank! Brutal.

Lev's seen this but I made a myspace for him so people from the 60's could find him, most of em are dead though!

Excellent!!! Merle Haggard is cool!

I've been mostly getting into the full on guitar based stuff, with less (or no) singing, recently, like Chet Atkins, Merle Travis, Jerry Reed, Jimmy Bryant and Speedy West, Joe Maphis...

Worthwhile tracks to hear are (in above order of artists) - Blue Angel, Bigfoot, Mr. Sandman; Cannonball Rag, Blue Smoke; East Bound and Down (yeah its cheesy and a bit modern but a great song!), Lightning Rod, Amos Moses; Frettin Fingers, Stratosphere Boogie, Little Rock Getaway; Hurricane, Orange Blossom Special (been done by loads of people but I love the Maphis version!)...

That's whats been killing me recently

Oh, and try to find a band on myspace music called The Fallen Apples, they do a bit of everything old- blues, swing, country, folky songs... it's really good but I believe the recordings don't do them as much justice as seeing them live!!! (they're from my town so I guess I'm lucky!)

Oh yeah, The Wurzels are a great (West) country band!!!!!

Feemo, that's a great story(ies), Kentuckians sounds well good!!!!

I still listen to this now and again, jolly good fun.

Feemo it is about time i asked this, are you me from the future?

The Kentuckians bloody rule, your dad gets high praise indeed.

Did anyone else watch the american folk season on bbc4?

No but I have been watching stuff on Baroque art lately

Cbeebies finishes at seven and i can't be arsed ever changing channels, learned quite a lot of middle class pretentious shit. I'd fucking slay at a dinner party.

It's best we don't meet Billy, there may be some musical space/time rip and I'm not sure how things could pan out.

It might be like that bit in Being john malkovich but everyone would just be me and you.

Have a listen to hank willams iii, he's fucking amazing.Also a lot of the old country stars would give ozzy a run for his money in the partying stakes.

Yeah, Willie Nelson was/is a party demon!

Hank Williams III
