Sunday

A mid-20s coworker said she loved country music. I said, I do too -- people like Buck Owens and the Buckeroos, Tammy Wynette, Patsy Kline, Hank Snow (whereupon an old timer at work started singing "I've Been Everywhere" ), Marty Robbins, George Jones, Loretta Lynn, Slim Whitman and others of that era.

The 25 year old (who loved country music) then said "I've never heard of any of those people."
