I'm with you, Judy. Who could not like Nashville Skyline? I also like Kris
Kristofferson who surely dances with country now and again. But that's ok.
It's a big, happy dance floor.
And what is it they say? Everyone gets to like country music eventually.
Maybe I'm just older than you? Johnny Cash...Willie Nelson...the old
gentlemen, don't you know.
