Music, especially country music, speaks of life and helps us relate to each other in good times and in bad.
In that spirit (and that of lighthearted amusement), this week I offer THE PANDEMIC PLAYLIST, or country songs that should have been written by now. I hope you enjoy it and that maybe it inspires you in meme or other creative efforts.
