Woooooohaaaaaaaaa! We just took off our cowboy shoes and started writing. Still smelling horse’s forelock and the life- giving vapor of the old, good Mississippi. The saddles still blazing, at least blowing out.
Well, to be precise we are in Poland but we’ve certainly read some of Mark Twain. And each of us saw a horse at least once in her lifetime.
Various associations with the country music caused us to choose it for the theme of this blog. We would like to investigate which of our immediate ideas about this kind of music have any justification in the history of American music and culture generally. We hope to listen to the music (aaaaayha!), analyze some lyrics, dive into the history of the genre, watch movies, read books, get ourselves a country- singer’s outfit, fall in love with Johnny Cash and, finally, explain why do people unjustly think that listening to country music is embarrassing.
We hope you’re going to take this ride with us!
Eeeeeeehaa!
