Maybe you’ve heard of many musical bands, but have you heard of   Little Big Town, a country musical group? There are four members in this   band, Karen Fairchild, Kimberly Schlapman, Jimi Westbrook and Phillip Sweet.   They had a hard time when they began their band at first, but they didn’t   give up. Now they become very popular.

“We take care of each other and we take care of the music, ” Karen   Fairchild once said after one of their shows. As a fan of this band, I once   had a chance to hang out with the members of Little Big Town. We talked about   their hard beginning. At that time, they even didn’t have their own stage.   Fairchild also told me how the four of them were together when they were in   trouble. Not only did they stand together on stage but also in their daily   life. For example, they were right there when Phillip Sweet was caring for   his daughter for the first time. They encouraged Kimberly Schlapman when they   found her husband passed away. At that time Kimberly was very sad to lose her   husband.

“Since we have lived such a hard life together, it bonds (联系）us tightly,” Phillip Sweet said. “We find true happiness is the joy   of doing what we do for a living. We love the hard beginning. We also love   the wonderful future. ’’
