I'm A Little Bit Country

[sarettah]

Ok, when my youngest (who is now 14) was very young, her Grandma babysat for her daily, so she did quite a bit of riding around with Grandma and Grandpa.

They both listened to nothing but country.

So, when she came over my house (every weekend) and I have never been able to tell her no to pretty much anything (unfortunately she knows this) whenever we were in the car we had to listen to country.

At first I was irked, but as I listened further on I became aware that the formula many of the current country people were using was to reach back to the 60's and early 70's for material.

Then, the more independent folks like Martina McBride and Faith Hill were doing what can only be considered straight out rock and roll under the name of "country".

So, country does not have the "stigma" it might have once had as far as I am concerned. Although I have always listened to a very wide variety of music personally....
