I grew up in the era of grunge and alternative music. I wore overly sized flannel shirts with little to no colors and shopped at thrift stores so that I could find the ultimate grungewear - the mechanic shirt! :) I remember that in my teen years I loathed country music. I would go to school or church dances and if a country song started playing, I would promptly exit the dance floor covering my ears and singing "LaLaLaLa." I don't know what I had against the music or who or what had influenced me to dislike it but the irony is that at about the age of 19-20 I started listening to some country artists AND now I listen to it more so than any other music genre. I attribute that to the fact that a majority of radio stations in Texas play country music. My hubby too has an affinity to country music. That being said, I wonder what influence Texas will have on my little girl in her growing up years. Hopefully she'll take to the good lessons like saying "Yes/No sir/ma'am" and being hospitable to everyone by waving and smiling, and saying "God bless you" to every sneeze overheard. And hopefully she'll grow up having a lot better fashion sense than I ever did, not that that should be too difficult! :)

That's my little Texan. Where is her face however, to get the whole picture?
I remember you telling me once how crazy it was that your brother was turning into a cowboy...it must run in the family. Actually, like you it is probably the music I listen to most these days as well. Texas pride is alive and well and I must admit that I have a little bit too.
