Strange Brew by John Deering for February 21, 2022

Wait, you can’t love BOTH kinds of music??

If it’s Mel Tormé, we know he took the smooth road.

Western Swing is the way to go!

Can I choose City & Eastern?

One road heads out west, the other takes you home to West Virginia.

What’s the difference?

Follow the yellow dirt road.

Where’s Rock ‘n’ Roll?

My family springs from high class hill Williams.

Oh my Achy Breaky Heart at having to make such a decision.

Neither….

Don’t choose Mell, plant your flag right where you stand.

Fork in the road – country, western cowpunk.

Mel Tillis?

C&W music is such a downer.

“The road goes on forever, and the party never ends.”

Mel chose Western and we have Blazing Saddles to prove it

Neither — jazz is best

See if you can smell Willy’s bus, now that’s the road ya wanta take.

There’s also a crossroads for Rhythm and Blues.

When you get to the fork in the road, take it! —Y. Berra

For MS72, Rock ’n’ Roll is a different fork in a different road. Take it, too.

Where’s Sex and Drugs?
