Old Country Favorites

Due to my mom's influence, I liked the traditional country music (even before country was popular and you would admit that you liked it).

My sister Patty and I used to love this song, and as adults, whenever we heard it, we would call each other and play it...
Come a Little Bit Closer

So many memories of our cottage, going out on the boat, and driving to the cottage in our 70 something Chevy Blazer...

Here's a Danny Walker special...

We would sing this as we headed to the cottage...
On the Road Again

My friend Sheila's brother, Charlie used to love this song. It always reminds me of him...
