I’ve got a new musical obsession after really getting into Kentucky’s own Tyler Childers this past weekend… He’s got a lot of amazing songs but the one I’m featuring for “Music Monday” today, while still unreleased, caught my ear when I found it on YouTube.  See if you can guess why?

“The reality is…my real name is Joe and I’ve been living with leukemia for eleven years. And unfortunately, it’s back.”
