DECEMBER 17, 2021 TRIVIA QUESTION
Let’s do a bit more with truck driving songs, recorded “a bit” more recently.
We’ll do this in a matching game. Match the song with the artist. Send your reply in this form: Bill Monroe-Lonesome Truck Driver’s Blues.
When the correct answers are revealed I’ll try to post links to each. And I hope you will be curious enough to check out those links.
Ready? Have fun!
