Music Monday – “I still remember momma walking down the living room stairs/And daddy saying with a smile, “that’s my girl right there”/They had their share of ups and downs/And I saw the best, and the worst, and the work, and the worth it.”

This is a song about the end of a relationship but man, that title is perfect for the final “Music Monday” of 2021… “Hell of a Year” – Parker McCollum
