My father has been a country music fan since I was a little girl. I never quite understood it when I was younger becasuse I hadn't had the same life experiences, but I always knew that it was one of my dad's "things." As I got older, he would call me and say, "Okay, you've gotta listen to this song the next time it comes on the radio" or "Let's sit in the car for another few minutes so I can play you the tape of this song." (Yes, there were tapes when this all started!)
Once I got into college, my dad started taking me to concerts to see some of his favorite bands and singers. And I have to admit, it was a lot of fun. As I went from the cool Debbie Gibson-loving little girl that I was into the land of actual musical storytelling as I got older, the songs started to really mean something to me! I had favorites and my father and I would dedicate different songs to people we loved.
Just last week, my dad told me to Google Brad Paisley's song "Letter To Me." (Yes, now we are modern and no longer using tapes. ;)) I watched the Youtube video and listened as tears rolled down my face. If you've never heard it, go Google after you finish reading this! It's worth it. Not only is it beautiful, but it touches those places in your heart that don't know how you'll get through those overwhelming moments. We all have those days and this song centers you. I hope you enjoy it!
