Clever Andrea. Country music lover, hunh. I've been listening to One Republic, Sara Barreiles, Elvis Costello, BYU Vocal Point and Noteworthy, Eric Carmen, Lara Fabian, Katherine McPhee, George Winston, Glenn Campbell, Dr. Stigg, Adriana Figueroa and many, many others. I have a lot of time to fill while I'm driving.

I like some of the country music as well. Reads like a good contender. I thought it was suppose to be a form of Jazz type music. Sara

Andrea, So nice a list of country greats. This, a fine tribute to their art form I didn't always appreciate though I listen to them now. Merle, Skeeter, Loretta, Ronnie, Jim, Glen, LeAnn, & Cal to name a few more. -Richard
