To Dano

To Dano I agree....

I never intended for this to become a trash Nashville and modern Country thread. I just wanted to know if it was the same Hunter Hayes. But, it does get a little old to play clubs for a tiny cover, then have to do a four hour set with no break because the owner wants to keep the crowd there and drinking and walk out at the end of the night with very little to show for it. Great if you have a day job, but burning the candle like that is not good for your health. Like Nathan Abshire said, "The good times are killin' me" I say good for Hunter and Amanda if they can make money at their art. They are both tremendously talented and entertaining. Since the music industry is fixated on youth they have a limited window. It's good that they are going for it and taking their shot. Check out the link for Hunter appearing on the Swamp N Roll TV show back when Dr. Feelgood (RIP) was still with us.

Hey Johnny, I really didn't mean to sound as if I was "bashing" Nashville. It's just the way it, as I see it.
But to answer your question, yes, that is the very same Hunter Hays, growing into a talented young man and well on his way to being a country music star! Geaux Hunter!

No problem Jude. It would be terrific if he gets to play the Opry (if he hasn't done so already) and whips out the accordion and has Jimmie C. Newman (if he is still alive?) join him for a cajun tune or two.
