DeleteDarn Blogger. I include the url in case people are reading the blog from their phones as the YouTube videos tend NOT to show up.
I was surprised at the number of April birthdays in the country music genre. If I missed someone who should be included, I hope commenters will add to the list.
Wow that's a lot of April musicians! Thanks for the trivia lesson - I'm a trivia-colic myself...
ReplyDeleteJES,
DeleteI was surprised at the number of birthdays in April. Sometime or another, I should compare the other eleven months to April to appease my trivia curiosity. haha
I love trivia, but I royally suck at it. Thanks for the fun tunes and the lesson.
ReplyDeleteLivia,
DeleteI spent entirely too much time tumbling down trivia rabbit holes. There's probably a Trivia Support Group out there... hahaha
Love it! Thank you, Kaye!
