what may or may not be hard reality

Grrr. It ate my comment. Anyways...

I can't get over how lovely that song is when Melissa sings it. I've listened to it on my mp3-player all afternoon, and now that I'm back on the computer it's playing in the background. Here are some more songs from that evening, Dolly interpreting Melissa certainly is... interesting. :P http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=dolly+etheridge&search=Search

I love country. Growing up, my father would buy all these cheap multi-disc country collections, and I remember hearing Patsy Cline for the first time and falling head over heels... what a woman! Other favourites are Lynn Anderson and Johnny Cash.

Oh, also, have you seen Melissa's new video? The happy happy one that includes Tammy, and, I tthink, their kids! I have no idea if this link works, but if you haven't seen it and it doesn't work, let me know, and I'll tamper with it.
