[Dixielandjazz] simple music

[Larry Walton Entertainment - St. Louis]

Actually at one time there were two distinct types.  There was Country music 
and there was Western music.  Western music were tunes like Back in the 
Saddle Again,  Pistol Packin Momma, Don't Fence Me In, etc.  I was young but 
my parents listened to Grand Old Opry that featured what was more accurately 
described as Hill Billy music.

Sometime, or at least I think it was, in the late 50's there became what we 
call Country and Western when early rock as done by Elvis and other early 
performers started to morph into more modern styles of rock like Doo Wop, 
Beach Boys etc.

This is all personal recollection so may not be entirely accurate but I 
think I'm pretty close ---- What do you think?
