Music Monday – “Yeah, to the farmers and the first responders/To the truck drivers shiftin’ gears/Every nurse that needs a break, let me buy you a drink/There ain’t no “I” in beer”

Great pandemic song/video and somewhat ironic that truckers get a shout-out given the KluTruxKlan “Freedom” convoy happening right now.   But the reality is unvaxxed truckers are a very small minority and most truckers and the national trucking association support vaccinations.   “No ‘I” in Beer” – Brad Paisley

Music Monday – “I wasn’t meant to be then it ain’t meant to be now/I love this home but now I hate this house/Its been a hell of a year”
