if you are born and raised in appalachia, you are raised on country music. lol
my grandpa to this day keeps his radio on WHOK-95.5 (classic country local FM powerhouse) all day long when he is working outside or around his house.
I was raised on standards like Dean Martin, Perry Como, Frank Sinatra etc. However, you wouldn’t catch me listening to it myself. As I’ve said before, I’m more of a Nine Inch Nails kinda guy.
It is interesting though that I don’t associate Ohio with country music. When I think of Ohio, I think of Drew Carey and that sort of environment. Of course I live in a neighborhood that’s officially called Little Saigon, and it’s nothing like you’d associate with Texas.
