Journal Five - Colton Long

The meaning of music to me is is somewas very clear and others very foggy. What I mean by that is it normally doesn’t mean to much to me other than that is is music, but on the other hand in certain situations it’s a very impactful thing. If I had to choose what kind of music that means the most to me I would have to choose old country music. The kind of old country music that my dad and his dad listened to. To the music, everytime I listen to it, it really makes me thing about my dads side of the family and all of the great memories I had as a child with them.

I honestly cannot say that there is one musician that I can talk about because it was a lot of the the older country music stars. I may not know all of the names or songs because I don’t, but if you asked my dad or his dad they could tell you. The greatest part is when my dads side of the family would get together and play those songs and really get into it no matter how good or bad because we did for fun. That’s the best kind of fun that they ever had. It all goes down when everyone brings their guitars or harmonicas because at that point you know it is going down.



This is Hank Williams. He is one of the many musician my family would listen to whether it’s in the car or at the house. Old country music was and still is the nest music to me.
