Each song has a special meaning that I associate with it, although some of the meanings overlap. “Fur Elise” is special

Tanya Tucker is quite arguably one of country music’s finest entertainers. Like a “fine wine” Tucker has done nothing short of grow, mature, and consistently showcase her vocal talents with countless gold and platinum selling albums and beloved hit singles. When you have a smash hit at the age of 13, no one can predict exactly how long and substantial your career will turn out to be.

During some of my early farm-boy life, I attended some wonderful churches in Edmonton and Metcalfe County. The church nearest our farm home was the one-room Good Hope Baptist Church, which was located alongside the gravel-surfaced Knob Lick Road about three miles from Edmonton. As a youngster, my attendance was usually limited to those infrequent and short periods of time when the church had a pastor and during occasional revival services. My Mom and I would walk together from our tenant farm to

Civility is manners. Doing simple behaviors like not chewing with one’s mouth open while eating or holding doors open for others can be considered as simple acts of civility. In the two essays “What is Civility?” by P.M. Forni and “Play with Your Food, Just Don’t Text” by Sara Rimer, they discuss civility.

From the very second I was born, until this very day, I had understood life to be a certain way. Life had taken its course and my family, as well as myself, have suffered ups and downs. We’ve been through times which were good and which were the worst of the worst – all families do.

Sure, I understand

When someone asks me what’s something that is really important to you or you couldn’t live without I always say my music. I think music is something everyone should have in their life because it does amazing things for people’s lives some even say it’s the window to our soul. Music can change people mentally and physically which is why I think it’s so powerful.
