Actually that is a very good idea. Kids are starving for something different (the younger they are the better). I like rap, but then I'm 30 and not a thirteen year old boy raising himself. Churches are really trying, but the schools need to offer something other than what they think inner city black kids want. Sheesh I remember talking about Mozart in class, and one kid told me it's okay for YOU to listen to music like that, but I'd get laughed at my friends :-( There are a lot of kids in the 'inner city' that would listen to country if teachers didn't have such low expectations.

Well, I think you have to tie it together... I think that if Alabama can sing "God must spent a little more time", Conway Twitty can sing "Slow Hand", Barbara Mandrell can sing "If lovin' you is wrong...", if Whitney Houston can sing "I will always love you!", then I think anything is possible...

I guess I am showing my age confessing that the songs I listened to have been remade by other artists black and white... I am proud to say I can listen to both types of music.... (Country AND Western)
