I love all kinds of music. There isn't any kind of music I don't like, although I do listen to rock music more than other kinds. This hub is the first in a series of hubs showcasing some of my favorite music and artists. Today's spotlight — Country music classics. See if some of yours are among them.

Randy Travis - Forever and Ever Amen

This has to be one of the sweetest songs I have ever heard. Randy's voice just sounds like the country. Maybe Tennessee, Kentucky or North Carolina, where he was born.

When I play this song, I can almost see a young Randy walking down a country road on a lazy afternoon, his heart light with his love. Maybe he is on his way to her house to propose.

As he strolls, he really does see things like old ladies sitting on porches, gossiping about old men as they split beans, or old men talking about the weather, glancing at the sky and hoping for rain. Somewhere, a horse whinnies.

And when Randy sings about loving you forever and ever, you know you can take it to the bank.

Garth Brooks - Friends In Low Places

Being somewhat politically incorrect myself, I find this song by Garth Brooks to be one of the most fun country songs out there. It is an older song but has held up well over the years. Some people like to brag about having friends in high places - Movers and shakers and people who can get things done for them with a single phone call.

Not Garth. He's got friends in low places.

The difference is, he doesn't have to be nice to his friends in low places just so he won't lose favor with them - He can be himself, drink beer instead of champagne, and wear his boots and jeans instead of a stuffy tuxedo. I have had lots of fun dancing to this song - There's something almost amazing about a bunch of strangers dancing and singing along together with one song. Garth Brooks will be coming out of retirement soon - He has been a stay-at-home daddy for years now. I look forward to his return.

Ronnie Milsap - There's No Gettin' Over Me

This is a great song to two-step to. Some people write from their own experience. As you listen to this song, you wonder about the artist - Did someone break it off with him? This song has a very nice saxophone bridge in it that is almost kind of sexy, and unusual in a country music song. He makes you wonder just what kind of guy he is that is so hard to get over. Old love affairs are like that - They materialize at odd times, like maybe a bill comes with their name on it, or you're just driving along minding your own business and 'that song' comes on the radio, and there you are wondering exactly why you gave the guy the boot in the first place. Ronnnie Milsap knows a lot about women.

Billy Ray Cyrus - Achy Breaky Heart

I challenge anyone hearing this song in a smoky bar or even just a BBQ to not dance to it. You just can't resist! All you need is one cowboy hat, some jeans, a pair of boots and a western shirt. Then just mosey on over to the dance floor, which is usually a giant wooden platform. Just watch what other people are doing, then find a spot and follow suit.

Just watch these girls doing some very basic steps:

This song has been criticized over the years, even appearing on some people's "worst songs" lists. But I proudly proclaim my love of this song just because it's got a catchy melody and it's fun to dance to. Even if you get the steps wrong, who cares? You'll have a lot of fun anyway, and isn't that what some music is all about?
