Some people say I can do a darned good impression of Bob Dylan when I want to (and even when I'm not trying to imitate him!), but for those who prefer the real thing, check out  bobdylan.com  Here you'll find a complete discography, lyrics (your age-old questions finally answered!), and sound samples galore.

I tell you, I didn't think I would ever say that I'm a country music fan, because I've never felt comfortable with the "twang thang."  But I have to be honest and say that, although I cannot readily name a truly meaningful rock song recorded in the last fifteen years, I really appreciate the depth and unpretentious character of much of contemporary country music.  Even though I still don't go for the twang, I do like the lyrics much better than most alternative or rap.  Family values are stressed a lot more in country music than in today's other popular songs.  Besides, so many of the female country music stars are simply more attractive than their non-country counterparts! Witness Shania Twain , and Faith Hill , and Lee Ann Rimes..  See also country.com.

Several famous musicians have their roots right here in McComb, Mississippi, and the surrounding area.  We are very proud of  Bo DiddleyOmar and the Howlers , Brandy , G.C. Cameron of the Spinners, and most recently risen to fame,  Britney Spears .  And I just found out about  the fifteen-year-old Ray J as I was surfing the Net recently.
