re: "Strawberry Wine" by Deanna Carter

If I remember correctly, the song was written by Matraca Berg, who turned out a good number of hits for artists in the 90s, including Reba, Patty Loveless and Trisha Yearwood.

Apparently Berg approached Yearwood with Strawberry Wine first, and she passed on recording it. A few years later I saw her in concert and she mentioned how, looking back, she felt like an idiot for not recording it. For the next fifteen or twenty minutes, as she was between songs, she would randomly sing a line or two from Strawberry Wine, before trailing off and commenting "Yep, I was an idiot," or "It's ok, I'm over it now."
