State Line Revelation

​State Line Revelation
 
I was driving back to Oklahoma City last night from a show in Kansas City.
It was about three in the morning and I had a screw up with my toll ticket
The details are too long   (and embarrassing)  to go into but….well:  I had TWO tickets. 
And I gave the toll attendent the wrong one.
It threw both her and her machine for a bit of a loop.
And then I had to explain that I had just driven up that way
        the day before to play a show.
And that I was now driving back.
“Oh,” she said.   “What kind of music do you play?”
Jesusfuckingchrist
I hate this question
And I get asked it all the time.
And I bet I’ve given twenty variations of:  
folk/Americana/roots/progressive/alt-country    etc etc etc
And of course NONE of my answers have ever really explained ANYTHING
But there, last night, on the Oklahoma-Kansas line I just suddenly spurted out:
“Red Dirt Music”
“Oh, cool.”  she said, totally satisfied with the answer.
She gave me my change and I drove on...with a big smile on my face.
