Skipping through songs is just a product of the times we live in.
Def Leppard - Pyromania
I was in a Dollar General and this was in the $5 bin.
I liked it a lot better when it came out. I found myself skipping through most of the CD and only listening to the opening riffs.

Unfortunately this is true. Everyone skipping to the songs with the easiest hook to grasp onto. Not taking the time to listen to a full CD and learning to appreciate songs that might be more complex or that take some time to appreciate. Back when I bought cassettes, I'd usually listen to the whole thing several times in the beginning. Too much of a pain to fast forward or flip the tape and try to find the song. It meant that I'd usually come away eventually liking at least 6 or 7 songs on the tape.
It's gotten so bad today that my kid sometimes doesn't even listen to a whole song she likes. She'll listen up through the second chorus and then skip to another song. Drives me insane when she starts doing that in the car.

Ya mean this thread I found way back on page 6 that nobody gave a about?
This guy just might be the oldest Texan to ever record, he was born sometime prior to 1890. He wasn't recorded until 1927.

It's 2 months old. Had over 200 views. I'm pretty sure that it provided some good information to people.
Most the views ya got since I showed up.
This guy is one of my favorites, he is one of the best examples of the lone guitarist moaning his blues. He only recorded one record, what a shame. Yep, a Texan.
Then there is the best example of early female Texas Blues, the great Bessie Tucker.
