I am so sore. I think it started from playing Wii Sports (my fitness level, as determined by my ability to hit home runs, knock over combinations of bowling pins, and return tennis balls--in bounds--was 73, then 55, then 71. Not good.), continued through sitting for two hours during My Bloody Valentine with my shoulders up to my ears and jumping ( Read more... )

I tend to go around talking about LJ. Like, 'this online community I'm in' or whatever. :D

Lol! I'm a closet LJer. People know about my blog, but not my LJ. This is where I come to hide from real life. *g*

I'm fairly sure Hank would be both offended and amused by your description of his music as hillbilly. [as am I] Glad you enjoyed the play though. I'm jealous you've met Maria.

"During the pre-World War II years, the music industry began to refer to honky tonk music being played from Texas and Oklahoma to the West Coast as hillbilly music. More recently, the term has come to refer to the primary sound in country music, developing in Nashville as Western swing became accepted there. Originally, it featured the guitar, fiddle, string bass, and steel guitar (imported from Hawaiian folk music). The vocals were originally rough and nasal, as exemplified by singer-songwriters Floyd Tillman and Hank Williams, but later developed a clear and sharp sound, such as that of singers George Jones and Johnny Paycheck. Lyrics tended to focus on working-class life, with frequently tragic themes of lost love, adultery, loneliness, alcoholism, and self-pity ( ... )
