Country music

Earlier this week I finally got my ipod out for the first time since leaving the states. Naturally, my host brother was in love at first sight. But since I have a pretty diverse taste in music there was something for everyone. My host brother got to listen to it first (this lasted about a day) - he loved the hip hop, r&b and reggae - which I have the most of. I was somewhat surprised to find out how many artists he knew pretty well, but then why would I be surprised - he has satellite tv. My host dad came home the next night to let me know that he had listened to it after I went to sleep the night before, and that after jazz music (which is the best according to him) country music is his favorite. What?? Of course I had a hard time picking myself up off the floor after at least 5 minutes of uncontrollable laughter. He couldn't figure out what I found so funny - country music is fantastic. Oh brother. I'm not the biggest fan of country music, but I do have some Kenny Rogers and Dixie Chicks and he was quite happy with that. The next night I asked my host mom what kind of music she liked, and she told me she liked church music. So I put the headphones on her and she jammed to the soundtrack of Sister Act II all night. I love this family.
