How 'bout some cherry cake?

I watched BBM once again. It still has the way effect on me, I love the film, the joys and sorrows in it, but I don't dwell on it afterwards very much. The one thing that I 'm thankful for is a greter appreication of music. I listen to country and western more now and like it a lot.

Country is wonderful; lyrics have such meaning. That is why the soundtrack is so rich with communication. Try Crystal Gayle's "It's like we never said goodbye" to seem like a song written for Ennis and Jack's first reunion.

I myself am much more appreciative of country and Western music than ever before, and it's thanks to this movie. On my last return drive home from Kerrville with my sister, I had my sister's car radio tuned to a country-and-Western station the whole way, and found the music comforting and inspiring. This music is of the earth (is "earthy"), and listening to it makes me feel grounded and centered.

Did you know that in the American West, before the term "Country & Western" was devised, the local name for this type of music was "Heart Songs"?
