It's funny. Recently I have been stuck on an old song on my iPod. I really can't tell you why, but I just enjoy the song. Maybe it is because it triggers memories of my childhood. When I was a kid my family listened to country music and I remember The Statler Brothers, The Oak Ridge Boys, Kenny Rogers, and others on the radio. I also remember not really liking it back then.
As I say it is funny. It's funny mainly because I have been stuck listening to "Oh Baby Mine" on my iPod since downloading if a last week. Why? No idea why I downloaded it. I mean the song was released in about 1982 I think. When it was released I was eight years old and had more important things to do like play baseball and avoid getting cooties from some infected girl in homeroom. But I realized something. I actually like it now. The music, not cooties.
I was looking around on the web and came across a video of the Statlers' final concert and heard the song "I'll Go To My Grave Loving You." That song was released, if memory serves, when I was not even a year old. But, I remember hearing it on the radio stations years...and years, ago. It still is a great song and as I listened to it I thought of my wife. Is it sort of cornball? Yes. But hey, I have never been Don Juan or anything. I'm just a guy who loves his wife and currently expresses it by sending her a link to a song that was released before she was born in a style of music she probably never listened to. Take a look...
