Sweet tunes

As I have noted before, dining at the local outlet of the Cracker Barrel fills me with guilt and dread. But we were in the neighborhood last night, and it was suppertime, and salt-cured country ham is, well, it's really good. So in we went.

And I wanted to mention: One thing I didn't note in that previous blog entry is that the house music at Cracker Barrel is excellent, if old-school country is your thing. Over our biscuits and gravy we heard: Bill Monroe, "Uncle Pen"; Jim Reeves, "He'll Have to Go"; Faron Young, "Occasional Wife"; Patsy Cline, "San Antonio Rose"; and many others I am forgetting.

We also heard Martina McBride's 1995 hit "Wild Angels," about which I was less excited.
