Die #Dokumentation über #Countrymusic auf #arte ist großartig. So viele Namen, von denen ich noch nie gehört habe, so viele Geschichten über einfache Menschen in harten Zeiten.
Und man lernt dazu. Folgender Witz etwa: "Warum haben Baptisten nie Sex im Stehen? Weil die Leute denken könnten, sie tanzen."
[Tanzen gilt als verboten bei den #Baptisten.]

More live #bluegrass, #rickyskaggs 's Boone County with #jerrydouglass, #vincegill, and more. Live in '76 in Kentucky, from my new low-key favorite YT channel (Take continues to slay it).

Includes a great version of #bobwills "Take Me Back to Tulsa" for a little western swing in your day.

The storied Dallas music venue reopened Thursday with a concert that tributed its first headliner, Bob Wills.

The venue’s restoration means Dallas now has a destination rivals Fort Worth’s Billy Bob’s in spotlighting North Texas’ remarkable and too-often-ignored music history.
