Early On, Before Rock 'n' Roll, I Listened To Big Band Music - Anything That Came Over The Radio - And Music Played By Bands In Hotels That Our Parents Could Dance To. We Had A Big Radio That Looked Like A Jukebox, With A Record Player On The Top. The Radio/record Player Played 78rpm Records. When We Moved To That House, There Was A Record On There, With A Red Label. It Was Bill Monroe, Or Maybe It Was The Stanley Brothers. I'd Never Heard Anything Like That Before. Ever. And It Moved Me Away From All The Conventional Music That I Was Hearing.

But An Actor Is Pretending To Be Somebody, A Singer Isn't. And That's The Difference. Singers Today Have To Sing Songs Where There's Very Little Emotion Involved. That And The Fact That They Have To Sing Hit Records From Years Gone By Doesn't Leave A Lot Of Room For Any Kind Of Intelligent Creativity.
