I agree with Nathan. I also like rock, country, bluegrass, classical and various types of music that black people aren’t supposed to. However, I am in a duo with an acoustic guitarist, and we’re doing mainly ’70s rock and some country type stuff. I’m both looking forward to and somewhat nervous about public performances. People are going to look up when I start singing the Beatles, CCR and Alison Krause. But, I did the same thing at karaoke, and most people were surprised but liked it. Some black people would come up to me and say, ‘I don’t normally like country music, but I like that (country) song you sang.’ Just gotta do what we like!
