Two years ago, a woman won two tickets to the Brooklin Spring Fair through a promo- tional contest on CHOO Radio. But the young woman couldn't pick up the tickets dur- ing regular business hours, so she asked if she could come by the station after work. Mr. Tilbury was standing outside when she pulled up to the station and the two of them struck up a conversation. The next night, the woman called Mr. Tilbury at work to re- quest Shadows, a song by Gor- don Lightfoot. After mustering up her courage, the young wom- an asked Mr. Tilbury tojoin her at the Brooklin Spring Fair. One year and one month lat- er, Cam and Cathy were saying their "I dos." The couple celebrated their first wedding anniversary on Sunday. They recently pur- chased a home on Scugog Is- land. If there is one thing the couple has in common, it's their love for country music. That style of music has changed in recent years and is gaining popularity with a larg- er range of listeners, Mr. Tilbu- ry says. Demographically, he says most country music listeners P. now range between 25 to 65 years of age. "Country music listeners are getting younger every day," he says. That could be attributed to the changing styles of estab- lished artist such as The Eagles and The Doobie Brothers, who in the past never received air time on country music stations. The lyrics have changed as well. "The lyrics are more mature," he says, adding they cover everything from wife abuse to the environment. "For years, we (country mu- sic listeners) were looked upon as hill-billies that couldn't string more than two syllables together," Mrs. Tilbury says. Those stereotypes are rapid- ly disappearing, she says. Mrs. Tilbury also commented on the lyrics, saying parents can allow their children to at- tend a country singing show or watch the country awards pro- grams without worrying about offensive remarks. In fact, Mr. Tilbury says a person can play a country al- um backwards and not be wor- ried about hearing satanical verses. The singer will, however, get their wife back, their dog back, their house back..... PS Afternoon of Sat.
