It was my freshman year of college when I really started listening to country music. I had really disliked pop music for a while by then, and I loved being able to sing along to country music. The guy I dated my senior year of high school had listened to country, and then my college best friend always listened to it. I purchased albums and became a country music fan. It's pretty much all I've listened to since then, and to be honest, I've never heard of most of the people my kids listen to. Robert enjoys some country music, but Catherine does not. Thomas is still undecided.
I've been finding myself yearning to listen to country music from the 90's again. I've been wondering...do I really like the music that much better, or is it just that it reminds me of a simpler time in life? I didn't necessarily enjoy my time away at college, but generally speaking, I enjoyed my college years. It really brings back great memories, and to be honest, when the songs come on, I can picture myself in those dorm rooms again, on spring days with the windows open and the curtains blowing. This morning, I'm subbing in Ag, and the morning classes are upperclassmen and things are rather unstructured (especially due to today's activity). I love the kids, and one of them put on 90's country. He was appalled that other students weren't singing along, and it took everything I had NOT to join in...not professional. :) I enjoy thinking about that time in my life, although to be honest, I can't believe how long ago it was! I pointed out to the kids that I remember when the songs they were listening to were considered new!
