Out in the west Texas town of El Paso

There have been a few variety shows on the streamers lately. I've seen two Christmas-themed ones in the last decade without really trying.
 
The vocals for the "Wild as the West Texas wind. . ." line get me every time. I think my dad introduced me to Marty Robbins and Sons of the Pioneers when I was like 8 or something. Didn't really dig it at the time, but I sure do now.

Similar for me. My dad listened to a lot of that old school country when I was growing up in the 60s/70s...Hank Williams, Roger Miller, George Jones, etc. He used to watch Hee-Haw every Saturday night. While I liked Roy Clark's playing as a kid, I'd tune out when Buck and the Buckaroos would come on. Now I really like all that stuff. Was it early exposure as a child, or just changing tastes? Who knows? Maybe some of both. :shrug:

Or you’ve always had terrible taste?
 
you know what has terrible taste? that crepe paper party ribbon stuff. seriously stick some on your tongue sometime. yeech!
 
Postage stamps also tasted pretty bad as I recall. USPS switched to peel-and-stick stamps years ago. I wonder if the taste had something to do with it. :shrug:
