"In 1951, Buck Owens paid $30 for a used Fender Telecaster, and American music was never quite the same."

This discussion group is devoted to the artists (past and present), music and happenings on the Southern California Country music scene.

Names like Buck Owens, Jean Shepard, Tommy Collins, Rose Maddox, Merle Haggard, are spoken here in hushed reverent tones. There's also plenty of discussion on the younger generation of California Country music artists like Dwight Yoakam and Gary Alan. Also up coming artists.

Also acceptable are musician-seeking-musician ads, and ads for venues, gigs, recording studios and rehersal space.

Not acceptable are flames, spam, or trolls who dislike country music or dislike country people, or any fans of "rap" or "hip hop".

God Bless the USA, God Bless our Troops.
