This Nana not only rocks, she still knows how to rock AND roll
Once upon a time there was a young girl from the Kentucky hills who loved music. She dreamed of being a singer, but when she opened her mouth to sing her hound dogs howled and her younger brother covered his ears and hid under the bed. She decided she wanted to learn to play an instrument. Her aunt tried to teach her to play the piano, but she refused to practice. Her mother took her to guitar lessons, but she refused to practice (the gal was slightly lazy and distracted by teenage boys). Her only talent, when it came to music, was listening. Luckily for her she enjoyed a wide array of music; everything from Willie Nelson to Elvis appealed to her.
At the same time that this girl was discovering her lack of musical talent, some of her high school friends were putting together a band. First they were known as The Itchy Brothers and later they evolved into a group known as The Kentucky Headhunters. In 1989 they had a multi-platinum Grammy award winning album called Picking on Nashville. And 20 years later they are still going strong!
Saturday night that Kentucky gal took her hubby, all of her kids and her granddaughter to hear the Heads play.
I think it’s safe to say that this nana STILL loves to rock and roll!
Rock on Heads! Rock on!
Just started reading nanahood; its great. Before Itchy Brothers, did the Young Brothers go by Mandrake Velvet, or am I just a confused old man?
