SO out at my Ticket Stop at Village Discount Outlet in Cuyahoga Falls last week, there was a line.  
Loved seeing everyone!  When you are out, you need to be ready for questions.  

Who sings that song? Who is your favorite artist?  When is this artist coming to town?  I love it...

Sometimes I have answers - Most times, I don't..  and the answers I have - not promising they will be great.

Enter - Deborah, she was there early she caught me in the aisles taking pictures. She asked "Ben what would you change about country music?" 

Honestly, I have never been asked "what I would change before"...  After a second, off the top of my head, I had to answer a good question right?

1. "I would put a Ric Flair - Whooooo in Lainey Wilson's New Song "Hang Tight Honey" and make it a featuring Ric Flair".

2. "I would've put the Munchkin's (Lollipop Kids) from Wizard of Oz as the chorus of "Try That In A Small Town"...

3. "I would only have 4 release dates for new songs to make the chart an actual day 1 song to song race. Releases on January 15th, April 15th, July 15, October 15th...  You can't release songs any other time of the year...  A song that is 30 weeks old should not be up against a song that is 4 weeks old in my opinion, it's apples to oranges."

Deborah looked at me like I was insane... Then she said "I meant do you like the new music sound or would you like an older 90's country sound for today's music?"

I replied, "Wow you must think I am crazy."   I really didn't know what to say after that...  It was like the diner scene in Tommy Boy... 

I did clear it up that Zach Top and some of the newer artists have a 90's sound... But I like it all..  I may not like one artist's style on one song but someone else does. Usually the next song by that artist sounds different, which I may enjoy.  It's a creative process everything has moving parts...  But I would definitley put some more fiddle and steel in it if I could.

Deborah was great we talked a while longer.  I was still really *embarrassed*...   Just proof great questions, don't always get great answers...
