Taste of Kiwi: Blog of Author Shelley Munro

I mentioned a few weeks ago how Country music seduced me when I was over in the US. Waitin’ on a Woman by Brad Paisley was one of the songs I really liked and I now listen to on my Ipod.

I’m usually pretty good with my timekeeping, although Mr. Munro takes half the time I do to get ready to go out. Do you keep your man/boyfriend/husband waiting when you have plans to go somewhere?

I’ve never been very keen on Country music. I think it comes from having to listen to this genre when I was a kid. As soon as I was old enough to choose my own music I gravitated toward rock. Hubby and I like to listen to music while we’re driving. When we were in the USA in the middle of nowhere it was easy enough to use my Ipod and hook into an unused radio frequency. When we were near cities we couldn’t do this and we ended up listening to Country because most of the stations seemed to be Country. Hubby usually complains but this time he didn’t comment or try to change stations. One day he said, “When we get home I might download some of these songs for my Ipod.”

It made me laugh because I’d been thinking the same thing. We ended up making a list of songs to download. We like the upbeat ones rather than the “crying” ones. Here’s one of our favorites – it makes us both laugh. We even know quite a few of the words.
