I’ve taken a lot of ribbing from Ma this year and it’s time to confess, I like country music. Well some of it.

It’s not just Americana..some of it is country.

I listen to Bob Harris on Radio 2 nowadays. I’m done denying it. The music I like is the music I like and I’m not ashamed of it.

This is lovely, not because I have any attachment to Tennessee but because I understand the sense of place that it describes, because that’s how I feel about London..
