Yeah I know, three days in a row is not good. Don't worry I don't have Covid-19 just the beginnings of a spring cold. Hopefully, it will be gone soon. In the meantime, I'll do my best to keep you entertained. As you can tell by the style this is another special day from Checkiday
As I was reading through the songs I realized there were a couple I hadn't heard so that's what I'll be doing today.
I used to love country music but when Pop came along I got more into it so it's been a while since I listened to real country music.
Do you have a favourite singer? Mine is Willie Nelson and I got to see him perform live twice during our summer concerts. I haven't much liked the line ups the last couple of years but maybe this year I'll go just to get out of the house.
