so the other day, in trader joes, country roads came on the radio. i was standing in the cheese section and i really wanted to sing along. not quiet, unobtrusive singing, but plant-my-feet-and-seriously-belt-it-out-singing. i have never done anything like that before. i don’t know what’s happening to me, i have never even done karaoke. i was like really? right here? - both incredulous at the idea and even more so at my willingness to entertain it.

i didn’t do it. 

but the song just came on here in the studio. i’m alone and wow - there was some pent up passion that needed OUT.

but what if i had done that in trader joes? what if someone had needed to hear it? what if someone had joined in?!

watch out, portland, i don’t know if i can stop myself next time. i want to live in a world where people sing their hearts out in the cheese section when they are moved to do so, so i guess i better be willing to start.
