[edit] Slash

Wikipedia page titles should not contain a slash ("/"). Please move this page to a new title that makes sense. I'm not familiar with country and western music and can't decide whether it should be moved to Two-step (country), Two-step (western) or something neutral. Thanks. -- Ravn 22:27, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

It should probably be country-western. It's effectively a single genre of music. QuinnHK 02:22, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
You, sir, are not from Texas. ;) Country and Western are different musical styles (cf. Randy Travis and Bob Wills). --Cowb0y (talk) 05:27, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

"Country", or "Hillbilly" music and "Western", or "cowboy" music, come from different ethnic mixes and places. Just as "Rhythm and Blues" is a term created by people who sell music, Country Western is a marketing/music industry term. You might want to look at the Country music article to learn more. And, yes, you can still hear the difference in the music. Steve Pastor (talk) 16:15, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
