What can we individual fans do to preserve the culture and history of country music?
Support it. Keep it alive — the past, present and future of country music. Country music’s culture is an ongoing sort of evolution. It’s not just about the past. It’s certainly about the present. So just supporting the culture of country music, I think, by way of buying records, buying tickets and supporting the artist morally, emotionally. It all contributes to the well-being of the world of country music. 4. You’ve become a “guardian” of the more traditional aspects of country music. If you could format your own country radio station which artists of the past would you feature to be sure that your listeners appreciated the roots of country music? I don’t consider myself a guardian. It’s just something that I love and believe in. I’m as interested in the future as I am in the past. I just think there’s a place for the history of it all inside the future. It’s a bit of a guide to get us there. But as far as radio station? First of all, I wouldn’t have a radio station.
