“LOOK AT US” – By Des Kelly Vincent Grant Gill, known world-wide as Vince Gill, is quite certainly on the apex of my “Country” hill of entertainers, born in America on the 12th of April, 1957, quite possibly started playing his guitar at a young age, started “composing” Country love songs, in his teens, and, even with tough competition, started his recording career when he was 21 years old, by which time,  he had also become a multi-instrumentalist, working solidly with his Country Rock Band “Pure Prairie League”during the 1970’s & later, as a “solo” Artiste, much in demand, both as a vocalist, duet singer & instrumentalist, backing many other “Greats” of that particular era. Vince Gill was an American, & my brief introduction (above), only goes to show how GOOD one has to be, in order to be recognized in Nashville, the “Country-Capital” of the World. Just like someone else, I personally ...

“THIS IS LIFE”.- By Des Kelly Both of them started their lives never dreaming of the “Stardom” that was to come their way. Tammy Wynette and George Jones, their names would have to be known by ex-Lankans & others, even “settled-down” at the moment, at the centre of the Arctic Circle, so very famous, are they. Both started far from affluence, George, having to join the Marines to “help” a large, but impoverished family, Tammy, actually picking cotton as a very young girl, prompting her to always keep a bowl of cotton-wool in her home, even after stardom.      As I have always said (& written), the term “this is life” could not be better said (or sung), in anything but Country Music. The harshest critics of this music will have to agree that Country music, especially by these two, will bring tears into the eyes of the listener, ...

“JESSIE, EMMY, RITA & TAMMY” by Des Kelly Four of the lovliest “cuties of Country”, would be an apt description of my “story” for on-line readers and “members” of eLanka, now numbering over 20.000, who happily receive a regular “newsletter” via e’mail, every week. We, of eLanka strive to bring all you readers out there”something different”, in that there is far too much “doom & gloom”now effecting the “Public”via television that seems to get some sort of morbid pleasure in bringing us “Breaking News” that is all bad, sad, & downright-depressing, leaving “good news” to a bare minimum.       As the editor of eLanka, I feel that it is my duty to try and change this “scenario”, & so, with a vast experience in “good-music”, I do my very best in providing “only the best””music-clips” (Catholic, though they are), to “start off the day”, if you like, with the ...

“THE JONES’ BOY” – By Des Kelly Hot on the heels of Ray Price, is another confirmed favourite of mine, incidentally, the favourite of millions of Country Music Fans, throughout this planet, the name of George Jones stands out like a beacon, and yet, there was not “much” of this Music Legend, nicknamed “the possum” for this very reason. A “little guy”, huge “rebel” & “Super-Star”, served in the American Marines, making it obvious to those around him, that here was another “classic Country Star, in the making, and proving, beyond doubt that this was the case indeed. In an Era when there were so many Country Music Geniuses to contend with, it must have been something of a nightmare to try to figure out which songs to record, in order to have a “hit”in the business known as “Country”. American Country Music has always been noted for being far ahead ...
