[andysandmikesmom]

Well, I have two favorite voices in country music...George Jones, and Don Williams...the song He Stopped Loving Her Today, is one of my favorites...its just perfect...

Just about anything Don Williams sings is a favorite of mine...he has a perfect smooth voice...a few of his songs that are my favorites, are Amanda, Good Ole Boys, and my absolute favorite, Gypsy Woman(a tune rarely, if ever found on any of his CDs, but an absolute favorite of every Don Williams fan)...

Nearly all country songs are terrible, but when they're good, they're great.
