XX, XY and a guitar or two

  Musik G.G.E. 20215 I just spent a bit of laid-back , feelin’-cranky-with-everything time, listening to Alison Kraus sing Goin’ to Carolina in my Mind. And I wondered, “Why would a pretty girl with a voice like hers long for that slop-hole of a state of red necked, bigoted politics …” (Yah, cranky! Please forgive me all you Carolinian brethren and sistern.) And then I had a stupid thought (an ungoverned mind tends to go down such rabbit holes occasionally) which was, “How is the girl who is Alison Kraus different from me, or vise versa. I'm thirty years older; there is that. But I could sing Teach Your Children Well and, of course, you’d find a dozen ways in which we sound different without half trying. But would the song mean the same thing in my mouth as it does in hers?” Assuming I’m a man … with a manly voice, of course, and a Canadian, and a lib., etc. More than enough has already been said about the difference between male and female, and Daily Wire will be all too happy
