American country musicians have always kept a strong backbone with country and their faith. So many country music songs have told the truth in God's word and fans have found grace in the ballads and gospel sand by some of His greatest problem children and strongest believers. one of my all time faorite gospel songs is "Wings of a Dove". While I was growing up , my Grandpa Guy never had a truck that had a reliable radio- a working CB radio- but never a F.M. dial and the A.M. stations were never anything but static at best. However, the old township truck he drove plowing snow for Richwood Township, could actually get the A.M. stations that played music. At the young age of 8 or 9, riding with him, plowing snow one winter, coming up
Owned at one point by George and Lillie Cook, my maternal great-great-great aunt and uncle, part of Lot 44 of the First Borden Edition, now better known as Cricket’s, passed through their hands to go on to influence the history of the Town of Birdseye.

Pluto, North Dakota does not exist. It is not a current town in the United States, nor are there any records of any area in North Dakota referring to itself as Pluto. By inventing this setting for the 2008 novel The Plague of Doves, author Louise Erdrich gives herself incredible freedom to develop a limitless narrative. Readers familiar with the general reputation of North Dakota will recognize many of the expectations. Erdrich’s town of Pluto is rural and conservative, with persistently palpable tension between the predominantly Caucasian population and the victimized minority of ethnically Native Americans. Much about the plot and perspective of this novel seems to rely on its structure around many narrators. The Plague of Doves is told from multiple perspectives and the timelines jump indiscriminately, sometimes with plots separated by decades seeming to exist in tandem. While these literary elements are remarkable, informative, and provide the novel with a significantly unique identity, the importance of setting cannot be overlooked. As focus oscillates between narrators and time periods, it is the fictional town of Pluto that remains the foundational factor. Without this shared setting, the novel could unravel into disparate themes. Yet readers subconsciously recognize the importance of place. As the crimes and social injustices repeatedly occur in a central location, the novel becomes less about the people and more about the legacy they inherit. The characters

Country music began in music styles brought over by the European settlers. In medieval times, storytelling was a tradition that allowed history to be recorded when few were able to read and write. When the first British settlers came to America, they brought this tradition with them, along with songs they had learned in Europe. The people who settled in the Appalachian Mountains and the West did not have an easy life and their music was their only outlet.
