Country Music

Much to my amusement my British husband has started listening to this classic country station, U.S. 94. Now I'm not that into country music. When I was younger I actually used to abhor anything with a country twang. I couldn't understand why anyone would want to listen to sad songs that spoke only of D-I-V-O-R-C-E or drinking or dying or all three at the same time!

These days, however, there are quite a few artists I like, and I've even come to terms with all the episodes of Hee Haw, The Dolly Show, Barbara Mandrell and the Mandrell Sisters, etc. that I had to endure growing up. I have a theory about country songs. I truly believe that you have to live a little to appreciate this particular genre of music - have your heart broken a few times, lose someone near and dear, be beaten up or beaten down by life - you get the picture. At 41 it is pretty hard to identify with the love and loss sung about in most country songs - much easier than it was when I was 21, that's for sure.

Anyway, I bring this up to showcase this song that I've heard more than once on this local radio station. It is the kind of corny song I remember from the country music of my youth, but I can't get it out of my head, so I've brought it here for you to enjoy. I think it speaks for itself. Do N Do Do Do...
