Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Because moderm country is awful. Heard a song that samples the Doobie Bros..very derivative. There is the occassional good modern country song. I really loved Worship You by Kane Brown.
One of the best "gifts" my wife gave me is having me listen to the Kenny Chesney album "Old Blue Chair" That is some of the most relaxing, peaceful music I have ever heard...really good songwriting too
True much of modern country is bad, it’s all the same. I’ve seen Kane Brown not by choice he was an opener. I don’t care for his music. I can’t even tell you a song he sings. There’s some really good country from the past ten years. Then again that’s a matter of opinion and taste. Good thing we all like different things. I’ve seen Kenny Chesney several times, he’s in my top five artists. He’s under the country genre but I don’t consider his music country except for some of his earlier songs. He has two tropical type albums and they are very soothing. I got into his music when I was going through a very emotional time in my personal life. It got me through. I listen to his music more in the winter along with Jimmy Buffet because I don’t like cold weather and it takes me to summer. He wrote Old Blue Chair in the islands. If he’s not on tour he’s on one of the islands with a tight knit group of friends. I don’t blame him if I had that kind of money I’d be on an island somewhere. Be as you are & Lucky old son are his tropical life type albums. He has many tropical type songs on other albums. You might like some if you liked Old Blue Chair.
