Hit me with your heart...

Music is an incredible, insightful, and emotional medium. Music has a way of touching people in many different ways.

Music can heal your broken heart... it can break your heart... Music soothes your soul... it enrages your soul... Music can turn someone on... or it can turn you off...

Anger. Love. Sex. Fun. Drinking. Drugs. Mexico. Stars. Moon. Rain. Sunshine. Crazy. Night. Dark. Kiss. Skin. Touch. Sugar. Angels. Pictures. Time. The Future. The Past. Together. Marriage. Babies. Divorce. and the list goes on and on.

I love music. I currently have 3278 songs on my iTunes. I LOVE Music. All kinds of music really. I grew up listening to oldies on family vacations. Everything from the Temptations to the Rolling Stones to the Beatles. And I knew them all, every word. My sister and I would sing and dance in the back seat. My Mom would just watch us and smile. And my Dad would lightly tap his finger on the steering wheel.

The 80s. Love em'. Although I was born in 82 I still have an appreciation for the 80s. From Billy Joel and Elton John to Foreigner to the Bangles.

Of course I grew up in the 90s. And I jammed out to everything. But this is when I also developed a passion for country. My Dad would always play some country on vacations but he liked to rock out better. The number one spot on my radio station was and still is country. My favorites include George Strait, Gary Stewart, Garth Brooks, Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Kenny Chesney, Lee Ann Womack, and Martina McBride. And that is just a few. I love country music. Something about it seems so truthful and real. It simple and it is about life.

With the onset of the new century and new generation entering college a new genre of country music emerged. It emerged from the old outlaw country of Willie Nelson and Hank Williams Jr. Texas country is about drinking, drugs, sex, and having a damn good time while you're young. And it has spread across colleges in Texas like wild fire. One of the more famous singer/song writers is Pat Green. He started singing with Cory Morrow in Lubbock, Texas at Texas Tech University. He music is now across the nation. Other singer/song writers include, Aaron Watson, Blue Edmondson, Bonnie Bishop, Charlie Robinson, Cooder Graw, Django Walker, Doug Moreland, Honeybrown, Jack Ingram, Kevin Fowler, Randy Rogers Band and Mark David Manders. And that is just the tip of the iceberg.

Currently my favorite band is the Randy Rogers Band. Their sound plus their lyrics move me in ways I didn't think was possible. The first song I fell in love with was Lost and Found. A song about losing love, ah, so good. Then came a rendition of Empty Glass by Gary Stewart: awesome. Tonight's Not the Night, is a fun song about going with the urge to just stay, to take a chance, and have fun. And if these hits were not enough they wrote Kiss Me in the Dark.... I never knew a song could turn me on like this song does.... ahhhhh.... with that said...
