We All Dance

I’ve never really cared for country music.

Not until the last couple years, at least. I’ve hung out with enough country-lovin’ folk to understand who they are, what they value, and why there’s a twang to their favorite tunes. Meeting them — and experiencing their lifestyles for a short time — filled in the blanks I wasn’t able to fill myself. Country isstill not my favorite genre, but now I get it. I can appreciate good country music. I’ll dance to it, if the right situation arises.

I’m thankfu...
