I'm so sorry for your loss. Your sto...Trailer,<br /><br />I'm so sorry for your loss. Your story sort of reminds me of my grandfather. He always used to play older country music around the house - Johnny Cash and Charley Pride were his favorites. It was never my thing as a kid. Too slow. Too boring. I liked the Country I was hearing on the radio (I also had brief stints where I got into Hip hop via Chris Brown and Akon...yeah, thankfully playing Guitar Hero actually got me into some fantastic Rock like Guns and Roses, Metallica and more). Granted, this was 2007-2011 ish, so it was much easier to find the gems. <br /><br />In 2010 he had a stroke, so he lost his ability to move in his legs. He was confined to his power chair pretty much. One day I was sitting with him rummaging around his CD bin when I found a Johnny Cash album. He wanted to play it so I did. It was like a world of difference hearing it as a teenager compared to hearing it as a kid. That Christmas I asked for box sets from Johnny, Waylon, and Merle. That also was the year I become attached to Country music. I still have traces of Rock and (good) Hip Hop in me, but my love of Country music will always be attributed to my Grandpa. <br /><br />Like you, I know what it's like to see a disease take so much joy from a loved one. Stay strong, Trailer. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. Zackhttp://themusicaldivide.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
