Alison Krauss’ Forget About It with Lennon Parham
Lennon shares her experience teaching high school French in the deep south for two years….in her early 20s The hardest thing she had ever done and a time to do some “real growing up.” She wouldn’t have gotten through it were in not for karaoke night, community theatre, the catfish served at the school (catfish that non-students would line up at the school to eat) and of course, those kids she taught. Also helping her, the mournful songs on Krauss’ 1999 album. And that would help her love country music where before she would reject it. Listeners, welcome to the holy trinity of whatever this is - all three went to their proms with their close friends instead of the people they really really wanted to go to prom with. Speaking of French, Joel as a young teenager thought Canadians were tres exotique!
This week on This Particular Song: BR549’s “Hickory Wind” and “Galileo” by The Indigo Girls.
