Me, A Redneck?? :D
After a lifelong hatred of country music, I have suddenly and inexplicably become fond of the stuff. It’s really quite alarming. At first it was just Randy Travis. Then I started listening to Big I 107.9 in the car. By now, I like almost all the songs they play on that station. Not just the pop-like Taylor Swift, but even the more hardcore stuff. I even looked up Gretchen Wilson’s Redneck Woman on Youtube out of curiosity. (It turns out I have a nontrivial amount in common with redneck women; at least the part about loving Wal-Mart and Christmas lights. Who-da thunk? Of course, I grew up in Missouri. It would be pretty weird if I wasn’t redneck at all. :D)

You should compare notes with Joy; she’s the country music maven in the household. She saw Taylor Swift recently, and we both caught Little Big Town (one of her favorites) at the State Fair the other night.
Lyle Lovett plays Santa Fe pretty often, either at the Opera House or Paolo Soleri. If you haven’t seen him, check him out.

Oh neat, I didn’t know Joy was into country music. :) I’m pretty fond of the few songs I’ve heard from Taylor Swift. I’m looking forward to getting her second cd, in my Amazon shopping cart right now.
