Oh, did you mean songs that remind us of our OWN homes? Well!

As a military brat, I've never really had a "home". But there are songs that remind of places I've lived.

I can't hear Eddy Raven or Gary Morris or the Bellamy Brothers without thinking of our years in California.

"Crossroad" by Mr.Children, "Shima Uta" by The BooM, "My Heart Will Never Know" by Clay Walker, "Shoulda Been A Cowboy" by Toby Keith, "Southbound" by Sammy Kershaw, and the 3 Tenors Live at Dodger Stadium will forever signify living and leaving Okinawa, Japan.

Gosh, there are so many from Georgia..."She Came From Fort Worth" by Kathy Mattea, "Somewhere In My Broken Heart" by Billy Dean, "Tempted" by Marty Stuart, "Coulda Been Me" by Billy Ray Cyrus, "There's A First Time For Everything" by Little Texas...

North Carolina had so many too. I am happy that we are back here again. Alabama's whole album Roll On, anything by Earl Thomas Conley, John Conlee, Hank Williams Jr., The Judds, "America" by Waylon. After we had moved from here to California in '86, I used to cry at night missing NC and thinking of "Country Boy" by Glen Campbell. And the poem my sisters & mom wrote about the beauty of North Carolina kept up hopeful in the 10 years we were in exile from North Carolina. Other people obviously enjoyed it too. My mom sent it in to Highlights For Children magazine and it got printed. It should be in one of the '91 issues, along with my artwork...
