country music

[NigeriaorBust 4,087]

It is all about America, it is from hometowns where you did hard work and played just as hard. I admit as a child my son called blue grass "country gone bad" but he has grown now and has a banjo and a mandolin of his how , oh an a dulcimer. My hometown still doesn't have cell phone coverage and the graduating class is just over 100. Country and bluegrass is the music of the backbone of America and the uniting music that has an audience across the generations. You can go to the concerts on not worry about covering your chlds years for the language, you don't see or smell drugs and the medical responce team is sleeping not mending people from injuries from fights.

You think that's difficult ... try to explain The Star Wars saga to her (when you have only seen Phantom Menace together). Watch her face when you tell her that number four ss really the first movie and little Anikan grows up to be Darth Vader. Then you get ... "Honey, who is Darth Vader and what is The Force?"

Glad you brought this up.

Neither my Pinay nor her son have ever seen the Star Wars saga. However, I am not going to tell them anything about any of the characters or the storyline development. I had been wondering the best order in which to show them the complete set, so did some research online.

And the answer is... Episodes IV, V, II, III, VI.

Leave Episode I out completely and save it for some other time. This preserves the surprise of "who's your daddy" and gives a satisfying end at the final conclusion. I'm gonna go that route. Doing them in this order makes the story about Luke, not Anakin. Yet, there is some backstory about Anakin and the whole Empire vs. the Rebellion thing to provide filler.

A good friend of mine has a big box full of Star Wars toys and will be giving them to my soon-to-be stepson, who will be turning 6 next month. Awesome.

how did you explain country music??? Nashville??? How do you explain this type of music???? How did you explain bluegrass?? I am tlaking the fiddle, the banjo, the steel guitar, the "twang", and the other things..... what is a rodeo? ("I thought that was somewhere you shopped???")

One possible option

is to sit her down, strapped to a chair,

and play 30 hours of 'The Grand Ol Opry' DVDs that you purchased recently.

After a bit, I get this sense that she'll understand all , and then understand you.

Good Luck !

I know how to explain Mr. Boat but, it would be a TOS violation.

This might be a good start..?

I could add more.

Yeah Benny...Take some credit for your blah blah blah post... ...

That post was one of the funniest things I've ever seen here on VJ...mainly because it was so appropriate given the circumstances.

May I borrow it? I'll give you credit for the first three times I use it. After that, I'll call it my own.

Go ahead and steal/borrow.

May my one good post live on forever.
