[speaker001:] okay do you like to listen to music
[speaker002:] oh I like to listen to music I just am not a very educated person when it comes to music
[speaker001:] well I'm not either as far as Bach and Beethoven and all that
[speaker002:] what what do you like to listen to
[speaker001:] well it's really strange I like country music and my husband likes the older rock and roll stuff so we've had to kind of educate each other
[speaker002:] okay
[speaker001:] that's been kind of strange
[speaker002:] oh I'm sure
[speaker001:] yeah but being in from Texas from Austin you'd think you get a lot of good country music
[speaker002:] well I'm not originally from Austin I'm from Minnesota so it took me moving to Texas to start liking country music
[speaker001:] oh oh yeah that's true
[speaker002:] and now I really do I'm I'm really becoming Texanized
[speaker001:] well have you ever gone to Austin City Limits
[speaker002:] I haven't but I watch it on I watch it on um television sometimes and and uh I've taken country western dance lessons oh yeah
[speaker001:] uh-huh oh you have did you like that oh yeah
[speaker002:] I love it I absolutely love it
[speaker001:] yeah I took that in college one time as an easy course
[speaker002:] and uh oh yes I definitely am am much more into country
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] um so you you which uh singers do you like I mean I can actually name singers I'm I'm not too bad
[speaker001:] oh really well naturally I I like George Strait and uh
[speaker002:] George Strait
[speaker001:] and Garth Brooks went to the same college that I went to and he used to play in a little dive there in town when
[speaker002:] so you know him from
[speaker001:] when he was a nobody no I don't know him personally but I do remember going to see him when he was a nobody
[speaker002:] well that's great
[speaker001:] yeah but I went to see George Strait when George Strait was a nobody too
[speaker002:] wow
[speaker001:] so yeah I've kind of followed them
[speaker002:] well who are you going to go see now I mean who do you see now that's going to be somebody someday
[speaker001:] well I really like um what's his name Jackson what's his first name
[speaker002:] oh
[speaker001:] I can't think of his first name he's a blonde guy and he sings um Alan Jackson
[speaker002:] oh Alan Jackson
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] um
[speaker001:] he has some kind of fun country tunes but you know it's really funny because country music has changed so much from when like I remember in driver's ed in high school that that my teacher always liked to listen to country music as we were driving and I thought oh God this stuff is horrible
[speaker002:] well okay well maybe it just has changed and maybe it's more accepted all over
[speaker001:] it really has I mean country music is a lot easier for people to break into as opposed to other fields of music so I think a lot of people start out in country and then try to
[speaker002:] right and then you you know you kind of think of Alabama you know that kind of brought everyone into a more country and and you know
[speaker001:] yeah yeah definitely yeah I used to go see them they weren't nobodies then but I did go see them before they got to be major big stars
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] so it was fun but
[speaker002:] Kenny Kenny Rogers he's kind of country and kind of rock you know
[speaker001:] oh yeah yeah I remember because when I was taking driver's ed is right when You Picked a Fine Time to Leave Me Lucille came out and it seemed like every other song on the radio was that song
[speaker002:] had to listen to that one again
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] oh
[speaker001:] but it's fun I really I I enjoy listening to it I I keep my radio on at the office but I don't you know I don't have it turned up real loud unless it's a really good song
[speaker002:] uh-huh and then you just you you pump up the volume yeah
[speaker001:] yeah just a little see it's real funny because the guy that I work with is from um New Jersey and he is trying to learn now about country music he's gotten to where he really likes it but he doesn't know any of the names of the people or
[speaker002:] from New Jersey yeah that's great
[speaker001:] yeah just yeah I was so amazed
[speaker002:] that's like about the farthest call from country music you can get
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] oh
[speaker001:] but he's got he's real funny because his office is across from mine and so he'll turn up the radio real loud and say who's this singing
[speaker002:] oh that's great where do you work
[speaker001:] I work for a computer company
[speaker002:] oh that's super
[speaker001:] yeah it's it's fun because it's small enough that we can do stuff like that and get away with it
[speaker002:] so you can do things like that yeah I'm I'm I'm being envious well one thing that I did in music that I mean was a big extravagance for me but
[speaker001:] so
[speaker002:] I have two daughters that are eleven and fourteen and Whitney Houston just came to town and and she was coming to town the same day that my daughter was getting her braces off so I and I really like her so I thought well
[speaker001:] uh-huh oh really oh wow
[speaker002:] we'll we'll go buy tickets and this is how we'll celebrate getting braces off teeth
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] and she really she really I I wouldn't say it was the a great concert
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] not that I've had that many but I know it wasn't a great concert you know
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] but it wasn't a bad one either and the one thing that I really appreciated in going to hear her sing in person is her extreme volume for that tiny little body you know and she really does have to work to get it all out
[speaker001:] oh really oh yeah
[speaker002:] and you'd you wouldn't catch that you know off of a a CD or a cassette you know
[speaker001:] yeah well did you happen to see her um welcome home show on the HBO for the troops
[speaker002:] I did not no
[speaker001:] she had so much energy I mean she danced and danced and danced and I thought golly that's like a two hour aerobic class
[speaker002:] yes I know I know so that that was really really fun um-hum
[speaker001:] yeah that would be neat I didn't know she was going to be in Austin
[speaker002:] yeah that was just last week
[speaker001:] wow
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] huh well that's neat
[speaker002:] so we had a good time
[speaker001:] yeah well are you familiar with Don Henley at all
[speaker002:] I'm not
[speaker001:] he um used to play with The Eagles have you do you know anything about them
[speaker002:] I know Eagles uh-huh
[speaker001:] okay well he was one of the original Eagles and he's broken off now and gone solo and he was in Dallas Saturday night and put on a wonderful concert he sang
[speaker002:] wow
[speaker001:] for like three hours and he sang a lot of old stuff and a lot of his new stuff so it was really exciting
[speaker002:] well you know now that you mention it I probably had would know you know know a song of his
[speaker001:] yeah I'm sure yo ur daughters do
[speaker002:] oh yes I well they're you know they know everything and then they always ask me if I know sport figures too so I'm a real flunky you know
[speaker001:] yeah well I in fact I had older singers so or older older singers older sisters
[speaker002:] oh so they kind of
[speaker001:] so I got to listen I got to listen to Herman's Hermits and all that stuff so that was fun and it's but it's really funny now because I'll I'm going to be thirty in August and it's sad because I listen to the oldies' station and I know all the songs
[speaker002:] I know I know
[speaker001:] it's kind of depressing
[speaker002:] it is it's it's sad when you reach that age
[speaker001:] I know
[speaker002:] but you're not doing bad I have a a good friend that I mean she's much older than I am she's I think about fifty eight and she's really up on all the new music even better than I am and and I mean she just likes music and she's just a person that's really with it so maybe you'll be like she is
[speaker001:] oh really yeah well I hope it's really funny though because I'll be at the club working out and I'll hear the aerobics music going and I'll think God that's a remake of an old song
[speaker002:] right right and it really gets bad when you can remember what you were doing oh I remember
[speaker001:] I know remember the original
[speaker002:] that's right oh and we're we're just getting to that age where we date ourselves all over the place
[speaker001:] oh I know it's pretty sad but it's real funny with my husband too because he really likes older rock and roll so
[speaker002:] did he really like Beatles
[speaker001:] yeah he I mean he's got Beatles and Crosby Still and Nash and you know all those songs that that my sisters know I mean my sisters listen to Beatles but not any of the other ones I mean like he likes Santana and some kind of off the wall ones so
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] I'm getting indoctrinated to a new a new uh line of music
[speaker002:] you're picking up some new stuff
[speaker001:] yeah it's fun though we have a good time because
[speaker002:] oh it is
