Music: CountryMusic USA: 17-yr-old Scotty McCreery still tops the Top 20 for song "The trouble with girls"

They say his voice, now baritone but with considerable range upward, is amazing.  And, of course, his song-wr+ting swarms around the themes of late-teenage.  But to an aging-onlooker/listener, the first telltale s+n of potential greatness is his first-off durability on the charts — until you hear him.  Without a video, you can't help imagining a dude at least 10 years older.  Oh yeah, hear him sing while he plays basketball for his local h+school.  See him hoop assist that last-second shot of a recent game for Garner H+ School!  8-)
