One of my chores that I have an obligation to take care of (at least in the spring\/summer\/fall) is grass cutting for the family.\u00a0 Although it is sometimes difficult to complete – given the back\/knee issues I deal with – it is also rewarding.\u00a0 I suppose it is due to the good feeling I get when the chore is finished.\u00a0 Since I try to take care of the grass at the farmhouse and the grass at Jen and Bro’s house, I am afforded a considerable amount of time to listen to music.\u00a0 Sometimes I listen to new music I just got, and sometimes I just hit play and let it shuffle.\u00a0 Yesterday was a shuffle day.\u00a0 There were a couple of Jason Boland songs that played yesterday that I felt obliged to add to the “Change” post – one for a Jimmie Rodgers line, and one for its message (although both have a great message).<\/p>\n

The second verse of “Predestined” is packed with wisdom:<\/p>\n

“Empty pockets don’t mean you need money
\nIt’s just another place to put your hands
\nAnd focus on that rock you’ve been a-kickin’
\nOne day it’s gonna be a grain of sand”.<\/p>\n

As long as there are artists like Jason, country music will not only survive, it will thrive.\u00a0 The last song that shuffled to play as I ended the day was a Turnpike Troubadours gem – and one I am partial to given the title.<\/p>\n

Nice shirt Evan.\u00a0 It would seem the future of country music is in good hands.<\/p>\n
