In the summer of 2001 I relocated to Northern Virginia where I started listening to other forms of country music and taking home lots of country CDs from the local public library. Exploring the roots and branches of country music became a full time hobby and my collection of country music grew quite large (though I was more into songs than albums).

Some years later, on a cold, snowy evening in Northern Virginia, some friends and I ducked into a little tavern to escape the elements and inside we found a DJ spinning country music and people wearing cowboy hats, smiling, and dancing. The music sounded heavenly and made me feel like I was home with family while my companions were amazed at my knowledge of every song and artist. It felt good to belong. Here are even more of my favorite country songs I’ve accumulated over the years. Enjoy!
