On The Road Again

Country music was my first true love, my first introduction to the art of song. I will always remember a man at church handing me a cassette tape of 14 Greatest Hits of Hank Williams, I must have been about 10 years old, and had discovered Bocephus's song a Country Boy Can Survive, was telling him how much I liked it. He said son you need to hear his daddy. And when he brought me the tape the next sunday that was it- my life would be forever changed by songs like Pictures from Life"s Other side, Ramblin' Man, His Burdens Are Greater than Mine, Kaw-liga and countless others. This country mix goes out to that man, I can see his face but can't think of his name.
