Russ ... While I am not a BIG country fan (although I AM BIG!!!), there are a number of tunes I like and perform ...
One is Garth Brooks' "If Tomorrow Never Comes" ... great tune and it gets good reaction ... another is Garth's "The Dance" ...

What's interesting, is that while I was pretty much raised on Italian music, my mother was actually a fan of Country/Western which resulted in my being a musician ...
Mom and Dad used to go 'clubbing' on Saturday nights with their friends ... One night they happened upon this CW group ... Mom sang really well, and didn't need much coaxing, so her friends asked the leader if she could sing a song with them ...
Well, she asks if they could do an Italian song (all the 'cowboys' in this group WERE Italian ), and the accordionists' eyes lit up ... long story short, Mom and Dad became good friends with the band and eventually I started taking accordion lessons from that same accordion player ... The rest, as they say ...
