Nothing...

Hey Buddy,
I don't think I ever told you about my Dwight Yoakam spell a few years back. Shortly after Holly and I met, he had a couple albums that were great, part country and part rock and roll. She and I listened to them a lot. It was also an interesting time with my brothers, as all three of us older Reeves boys were listening to the same music at the same time, Dwight Yoakam CD's. Mike has always had a bit more "country" affinity than Scott or I, though we have all had short spells of identifying with it.

Anyway, I have fond memories of listening to Dwight as we (Mike and Amy, Holly and I) travelled down to North Carolina to visit Scott and Debbie. Holly and I were just navigating that part of the relationship when we became bold enough to use the "L" word. I remember the day on the trip when it first showed up in conversation with reference to our feelings for each other. That is code for "I remember the day I first told her I loved her."

So now, a bunch of years later, and Ol' Dwight decides to put out a new album. My feelings for Holly are certainly still there and even stronger. But somehow when Dwight sings about the "L" word now, I
see it as the same thing, but also part of something so much bigger. Nevertheless, I thought I would share it with you as a little reminder... just in case you need one today.






And in a slightly more "country" format, it is still... Nothing but Love



PS I miss you.
