Michigan Girl Embraces Her Inner Hillbilly

Dear Internet,

I am chagrined to say that I am almost a Texan. I love my Midwestern Roots, but last night, I realized I was filled with total and utter joy when "Sweet Home Alabama" came on at the club. Now, if you saw this place http://www.theluckylounge.com/ , you would laugh at the fact that any kind of Skynard was playing, but that my dear friends is a joy of living in Austin. After we stopped dancing our butts off, we needed a little midnight refreshements- went to a little diner where Hank Williams was playing. Internet, tis true, I was singing "Jambalya" with two musicans at the diner. I even was able to sing the harmony! This girl, who grew up in the 'burbs of Detroit, and listened to this station http://fm98wjlb.com/main.html, is now hanging out in Texas, crooning some good ole country tunes. Well, maybe I am part hillbilly- had a martini in one hand, and was wearing $150 shoes whilst busting out some Hank Senior!
