Thanks for posting the videos.

[James Otto Sweet Heart]

That clip does give me goosebumps, especially when Randy Travis is shown at the beginning, but sadly the recording loses me when it slows down near the end. In my opinion, it should've kept on going the way that it started out. To me, slowing the song down only makes it sound like country music is going away and will only end up being a thing of the past, especially when you think about why Dolly wrote them lyrics that are being sung by that time in the first place. It was her good bye message to her chapter with Porter Wagoner.

God bless you and everyone who is keeping country music alive and well always!!!

Thanks for posting those! I just came across the video on facebook earlier but didn't get the chance to watch it, so I just watched it. So good! Loved all the artists they choose for the song and the songs they choose were great. It makes me sad in a way though because I miss how country music used to be

[quin0611]

I agree Steph. Country music used to be better.

[maplezbear]

I can't hardly stand what's on the radio now days. Thank goodness for digital music and being able to create your own stations etc

[quin0611]

Yes that is Awesome you get to customize your music station! I agree old school music is better.
