Yes he's very nice, Mr. Emmanuel, I chatted him up after a show. The thing he does with the guitar is quite brutal at times. He has this schtick in which he uses the top as a wash board (my best description) and rips it to shreds with a pick.
Now that you are in South Central US, get the lingo correct. Saying "pardner" and "hey cowboy" are for Texas and the states out West...duh. That is cattle country. ( California has more cattle ranches than almost any other state, 'cept Wisconsin. Oh haaay theeere, we're from Wisssconsin) A few cattle states like Nebraska have some cows too.
Kentucky-Tennessee talk would be more like "Listen here child, you just tell me what your problem is. Child! I said listen up child!" Watch Foghorn Leghorn cartoons for the accent.
I suggest you call your clinical supervisors "child" and "babe".
Don't gratuitously prescribe drugs, Americans are on enough drugs at present:
To your wards you should say, "Now look child you ain't got sense to come in out oh tha rain. Now go clean them horse stalls and get yourself more home trainin' and common sense by way of some honest work".
Also never insult a mans horse down there. And Highly recommended is a trip to outskirts of Lexington Kentucky where thay make bourbon. Even if you don't drink there is promise there, it smells delicious and the girls are "randy".
Are you stayin' up late child?

Stephen, you bring up a good point. There is a big difference between Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, West Virginia, etc. and the Western states. And that difference manifests itself in music as well. It has always seemed odd to me that "Country and Western" music is considered one genre. Although there are overlaps, "country" music belongs geographically to the above-named states and the South. This is the world of Hank Williams, Jimmie Rogers, Dolly Parton, George Jones, et al. It usually concerns miners, farmers, "crying in your beer" songs, etc.
"Western" music belongs geographically to the West: Arizona (my original home state), New Mexico, Colorado, Montana, Texas, etc. "Western" music generally is concerned with cowboys, gunfighters, "trail songs," etc. It also is far more likely to be sung in the form of a ballad. In my opinion, the greatest example of a Western singer was Marty Robbins. His signature song "El Paso" is the template for the Western ballad.
Cheers,
Bill

Right on Bill. I'm no expert either, but historically there's a lot of regional flavor to hear on older records. The comparison to flamenco begins here.
Today C&W music is homogenized due to the fact that media makes it possible to hear what everyone every where is doing. Seventy to eighty years ago before C$W music was labeled there was a whole bunch of regional flavor to the music that eventually got classed as C&W.
Flamenco was the same way and to an extent still is, but the North hub location of Madrid as a melting pot of flamencos coming up from the South to perform gave flamencos a chance to hear other aires from places they formerly might not have gone during the lean years of the 30's, 40's and 50's.
Cowboy songs, trail songs are different from West Virginia songs...Western Swing, Disney versions of pioneer songs ..Whoa there..... Mix in Civil War era banjo and Minstrel music...there's a crazy amount of music to take into account.
Here is the analogy between flamenco and country music: Gnashville and Madrid served the same purpose, they both became locations or destinations that one had to go through in order to get recognition and work. During the process of those places becoming hubs of activity the music of many separate regions united and blended.
That is how recordings of Marote with Fernanda came about, and also why the Bakersfield Country Western sound was so different from music coming out of Nashville. Bakersfield and Jerez are the same thing in that respect, a far out province with heavy local groove that could not be cooked down.
Throw Hollywood and Disney into the mix and the subject of slick production and glamour enter. The editing out of heavy regional difference to make product that fits mainstream tastes. Disney worked harder at keeping that together Hollywood totally ran amuk.
And then there's Motown, which is a whole other similar story.
Welcome to Nashville Rombi ! I suspect if you want little flamenco with in a few state radius you might find it in Cincinnati, also a wonderful music city.
