I have been thinking about this since we watched Hope Floats a couple nights ago. I heard and remembered some great tunes when watching this movie. Tunes that I listened to when I was 16. That was strange to me because I clearly remember being asked at Lonestar Steakhouse and Saloon if I listen to country music.
I clearly remember, smiling and saying no, as I shook my head thinking that that would be a dealbreaker in me being hired. It wasn’t a dealbreaker and she said to me, knowingly and without looking at me, “You will.”
And I did! I told my Mom that I guess thatI have always dabbled in listening to country music. I listen. to it in waves. And maybe that comes from my Dad because he liked country music. He wasn’t super overt about it, but I grew up listening to Johnny Cash and Charley Pride.
I remember jamming to Deana Carter and Shania Twain in high school. I owned two Dixie Chicks CDs.
I don’t know that I will watch Hope Floats again for a while, but it was really nice to think about all the great country music. I’ve listened to over the years
