you've always got to love Willie Nelson. Thanks for that Mr. Steinbeck!

I remember when I was a little boy, we would go and visit my grandparents at the family Ranch in Wyoming. My brother, sister, and I would wake early, climb the stairs to where my grandmother would be cooking in the pre-dawn atmosphere of her kitchen.

Here are some songs I have used to comfort myself while coming out and I posted these to my facebook account.














Im a HUGE country music fan and could post 100's of my favorite vids but I wont. Most of todays country is crap. I like older country music better like the 90s and before that. Todays stuff doesnt have the heart and soul the older stuff has.
