The Add To My Playlist Podcast

EPISODE 15 - EXTERNAL Version for Non-Spotify Listeners!

Shout out to all those from a small town! In high school I lived in a town of 500 people - everyone knew everyone! "if you haven't heard a rumor by noon, Start one!" was one of the first lessons that I learned! Yes, living in a small town has some disadvantages - like, we didn't have a stoplight or a drive thru - I had to drive to larger community with my driving instructor to experience that! The one thing that I loved about a small town was the community! Being known, cared for and recognized was a great benefit of small town life! So, if you are listening to this today, and you find yourself in a small community, these two songs celebrate you! You are the star of this episode!

Two songs today for you - Miranda Lambert - Famous in a small town and John Mellencamp - Small Town

"Small Town" is a 1985 song written by John Mellencamp and released on his 1985 album Scarecrow. The song reached #6 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart and #13 Adult Contemporary. Mellencamp wrote the song about his experiences growing up in a small town in Indiana, having been born in Seymour, Indiana, and living in Bloomington, Indiana, which, at the time of the release of the song, was larger. The music video has references to both towns.
