click on the audio link above to listen to gram speak about the opry and nashville and his grandmother and hickory wind… it’s a wonderful piece of footage that never fails to make me cry.

i got this great gift today from a friend and i’m hoping i can wear this shirt like eight days a week. or maybe just at least twice a week. and then maybe hidden underneath another shirt another day. i just want to wear it everyday.

when my friend gave me the shirt, she asked me what my favorite gram song is. of course i could never choose so i grabbed a guitar and sampled some of my very favorite parts of gp songs.

And I remember something you once told me
And I’ll be damned if it did not come true
Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down
And they all lead me straight back home to you

that would be too obvious a choice methinks. i find myself singing this verse all the time in my head, so it must be my favorite lately. sometimes i think it’s the most beautiful stack of words i’ve ever heard. it may be.

Oh my land is like a wild goose
Wanders all around everywhere
Trembles and it shakes till every tree is loose
It rolls the meadows and it rolls the nails

 
i definitely couldn’t ever choose…. dd
