Not many. I used to frequent the sandbagger saloon in the crooked river ranch.

Kind of a locals place for the ranch dwellers.

What kind of music do you usually play at a honky-tonk bar and grill?

Last time I was at the sandbagger I played easy rider 88 on the juke box

I thought this thread was about places (not recordings )

Eastern Oregon in Crane, a little tiny bar with no taps, only cans. Last time there my friend said to me "we should head into town and see what's going on!" Right on que, an old timer spokenup and said "son, this is town and this IS what's going on!" I about fell of my stool laughing at my friend, he was so stunned. If that's not honky rink, then I really don't know what is.
