Great story about your interest in Country Western! I love your Voki. Be sure to post a few sentences about a grammar point in your paragraph. For example, you could mention the past tense that you have used and ask your readers (students) to write a few sentences in the past tense.
ReplyDeleteFascinating!! It is surprising to hear you got into it without any external motivation. Are you familiar with the lap steel musical instrument? It's like a guitar that goes horizontally across your lap...
ReplyDeleteInteresting story maybe you can recommend a good cd:)
ReplyDeleteInteresting! I haven't met many Long Islanders that really enjoy country music. Although, when I went to school upstate, country music was all over the radio stations.
ReplyDeleteAlthough country isn't my favorite genre, there are many country songs and artists that I like very much. In fact, a few days ago I brought a Kellie Coffey CD to the gym with me and listened to it while I exercised. Are you familiar with her?
ReplyDeleteI can also relate to this post because I have discovered some of my favorite music in unconventional ways. Perhaps I'll talk more about that in a future post.
I can't say I'm a fan of country. However, I like how people have altered and changed country and fused it with other genres. Examples include Led Zeppelin and Beck. Somewhere in the middle between country and rock or blues or electronic or 8-bit, magic happens... great post. :D
