John Deere Green

I have some great friends here in the Sandbox who have us over for dinner quite often, I'll call them 'the B's'. She's a wonderful cook and a great hostess, but there are 2 things that really set the B's apart from our other friends here...dance dance revolution and karaoke. It doesn't matter why we've come to their house, every visit turns into karaoke night. Last night, our yrp meeting ended with flashdance. In the midst of all of these entertaining evenings, I've learned that in my southern upbringing of country music, I really missed out on a lot of good 80's music. I've never even heard half of the songs that people sing and the most of the rest don't really know. Needless to say, I'm a karaoke dud. It has been interesting though, to notice the change in my personality since coming to the Sandbox. Maybe it's the heat, I don't know. But in the states, I was pretty shy, I didn't even sing very loud in ch just in case the person next to me heard. Fastforward to last night when I put on an exhilarating performance of Joe Diffie's 'John Deere Green' in front of about 15 people...with no shame.
