I got us tickets to a country music concert that is a drivable distance from both of us my treat.
Speaker 2
Wow that's so kind of you. I love a good country concert. Should we cook dinner before we go?
Speaker 1
That sounds delicious! What do you think we should make?
Speaker 2
We can make some grilled veggies from your farm. Maybe I van live next door some day. 
Speaker 1
Grilled veggies sound great! How about some burgers too since we will be breaking out the grill? Yes, I'd love to be neighbors!
Speaker 2
That sounds like a great dinner. Then we can go to the show you got us tickets for!
Speaker 1
Yes!! We're gonna have an awesome time. I'm gonna have to pick out a perfect outfit.
Speaker 2
Do you know what the weather will be like on the day we go?
Speaker 1
As of right now, it's supposed to be in the low 70s and no rain.
Speaker 2
That's perfect. I wonder if I should bring my cowboy hat.
Speaker 1
Of course! That is a must at a country concert.
Speaker 2
Great! I'll have to dig it out of the closet. Do you need to borrow a hat?

Speaker 2
Yeah he is! Where is he playing? I live in Alipine County, Ca
Speaker 1
I think it will be in CA! Maybe I should visit you and we can go together.
Speaker 2
I think that would be a great idea. Would you be able to get away from the farm long enough to come?
Speaker 1
I can let my three sons to take care of the farm. They are more than capable enough now to take over. 
Speaker 2
Oh wow, How old are they now? In my mind they are still little kids.
Speaker 1
The oldest is 18, the other two are 15 and 13. Kids grew up faster in the farm, they took on responsibility and help out since they are little kids.
Speaker 2
No way! Do any of them want to take over the farm?
Speaker 1
My youngest seems to enjoy school more so I plan to give him more time to think about what he want. My oldest is even ask me if it's okay for him to take over, he's such a blessing.
Speaker 2
Yes he is, What about following your daddies footsteps and being a preacher?
Speaker 1
Hmm, not so much. They're similar to me too on disliking preaching job. LOL.
Speaker 2
haha True I can definitely see the pluses and minus. Have y'all had a bad winter?

Speaker 1
Are you planning to go to any country music concerts in the near future? 
Speaker 2
I haven't thought about it too much, but now that it's warming up, there will be a lot more shows, so I'll do a bit of research to see who will be here this summer. What about you?
Speaker 1
Oh yes, I will be out at shows all summer long! Cannot wait! Who are some of your favorites?
Speaker 2
Haha well a lot of my favorites are from a bygone era, but I'm rather impressed with the singer songwriter Ingrid Andress. I'm thinking I might go to a few of her shows if she puts on any this summer. What shows are you planning to attend?
Speaker 1
Ingrid Andress is a star in the making. Lady like is a straight up jam! First and foremost King George Strait is my favorite always a good time to listen to him, lately I've been jamming hard to luke combs and Jordan Davis
Speaker 2
I can definitely see why. They make great music! Will you go to any shows with your family?
Speaker 1
Absolutely I love taking my sons to shows although they do not appreciate the greateness of the old school country artist. They like stuff like FGL and Morgan Wallen
Speaker 2
I suppose artists like FGL have their place, but the classics are really where it's at in my opinion. Great lyrics, great flow, great music and just a good time. The modern stuff is often too produced for my tastes. 
Speaker 1
That is an absolutely perfect description. Today's modern music takes a great simple song and as you said turns it into a pop song with the overproduction
Speaker 2
Absolutely! It's like the 80s all over again, but with admittedly better synths, haha. But my thing is just, because all the tools and gadgets exist, doesn't mean you need to use them. Some things are better in moderation.
Speaker 1
Exactly. It works for some songs, but country radio every song around is over produced. One day someone will come in and get back to the classic style and save country music!
Speaker 2
I sincerely hope so. There is just something about old country that does a better job of capturing life on a farm or in the mountains better than current country does. I think part of that is a lot of these newer artists are city people, not country folk, so that essence is missing from the get go.

Speaker 1
We've just got a new puppy for the farm, he's so cute, do you have any pets?
Speaker 2
So cute! What kind? I have a dog too. I am always so happy when I see him go crazy with excitement when I come home.
Speaker 1
She's going to be a big ol' hound dog some day! What kind of dog do you have? 
Speaker 2
I have a Staffordshire Terrier! Do your sons like the new puppy? I bet she loves running in the open land on the farm.
Speaker 1
She loves running anywhere and everywhere! The boys just love her. How old is your Terrier? What color is it?
Speaker 2
He is black and he is 6. He knows some cool tricks, but not a lot. We are hoping for better weather soon so he can spend more time outside. What will you teach your pup to do? Be a truffle hunter?
Speaker 1
Truffle hunting is a big possiblity. I have been wanting to get into that so she might give me my chance. Is your dog pretty good natured with new people and kids? I have herard they are a good choice for kids.
Speaker 2
He loves kids, but not puppies. I don't think our pups would get along very well. How is the farm doing? Good haul so far?
Speaker 1
Its been pretty dry so its been tought this year getting things to grow. But we look like we will have a good crop of tomatoes, and cauliflower this year. Have you had an fires near you in the mountains?
Speaker 2
Not yet, but give it another month and it is possible. I hope not though. The smoke during the fires is horrible and makes walking outside uncomfortable. 
Speaker 1
I can imagine. The irony is you probably went to the mountains in part to get fresh air! I feel so bad for all the people who have lost thier homes to the fires. Stay safe and alert!
Speaker 2
I will! Thank you! Do you get fires where you are?
