BTW this is what the van (his first car in 1978) looked like - except it wasn't as immaculate, had some rust, and he had all sorts of stickers on the back like was common in that era).
Compared to a USA truck it is tiny.
Dad did install a fairly decent Japanese radio cassette player to listen to his Country and Western with (you had to do that yourself, vehicles didn't come with their own built in radio back then!)
@Jaden3@LunarLioness814 my late father was a great fan of Charley Pride, and always listened to him and Don Williams in the car. Sometimes he even wore a cowboy hat which he bought from a county show whilst driving (he was Malaysian Chinese, and the car was a 1970 Austin Mini van 😁 )
@Jaden3 Nothing wrong with that! My former BFF & I went to see Garth Brooks in the early 90's and I think we were the only brown people there who weren't building employees. It was a different time, what can I say? (I'm still a Garth fan; seen him in concert 8 times. He's awesome)
@LunarLioness814 yeah fr. I just feel weired sometimes being black and liking country. Like it should not happen but I do. Some really good country songs.
@Jaden3 My wife is from Thailand, it's very popular over there, she loves it! Almost every song is about drinking and she doesn't drink. She sings along anyway LOL 🎵 🎶 🍻 👍 😁 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rct9Zs_Yd-I
@Jaden3 My musical tastes are all over the place. I'm also pretty sure I was the only black face in the crowd at a Rob Zombie concert a few years back. 😁
