MAB, we had a conversation once where I said that Alabama introduced the rock sound into country. You didn't exactly dissagree with that, but you said Garth Brooks started the rock "light show" in country. That's all I was refering to. [To me, as I recall it, (AND BTW, I am almost old enough to be your father LOL)] country sound changed when Alabama became popular. Up till then, as I recall it (but memory is the second thing go LOL), groups like Statler Brothers and Oak Ridge Boys didn't use loud drums and those rock lead guitar riffs. Nor did any of the other country artists at the time. AS I RECALL IT LOL. Could be totally off here.
