A Confession...
I am currently uploading a Gaither CD to my iTunes right now, so I can put it on my iPod. I know this will make me the object of merciless teasing from my coworker who has a beef with the Gaithers. The thing is, it's just part of my childhood. The hymn-singing, the cheesy down-home twangy thing...my mom loved them, and I remember countless Saturday nights watching the Statler brothers show at my Grandma's house (different from the Gaithers but same kind of genre I believe). AND...my sister (second sister - the Konglish phrase for the second born, in this case my middle sister) who is WAY cooler than I could ever aspire to be, even has admitted to liking hymns, and *maybe* being a closet Gaither fan (I can't remember specifically which she liked. Guess I just outed her if I'm right, though.). I admit that some of the down-home hymn favorites may have less-than-perfect theology, but really...nobody and nothing is perfect.
Go easy on me.
Well...don't tell anyone, but I have an entire file on my hard drive of Statler Boys, Gaither Trio, Oak Ridge Boys, and Alabama singing old school gospel songs. I have another file of classic country tunes by most of them, too, but I have a special place for "Rock of Ages" and "Just a Closer Walk" and such. :) But yeah, don't tell anyone cuz it might ruin my reputation or something. Ahem. Love you!
