https://youtu.be/yxsNGXoGVok?si=o2Neh3yPb-au0y9eGood Tuesday afternoon, my Brothers and Sisters in Arms! I bring you another of my "Music Interludes" and today I chose to bring you some Country Music... I chose this first song due to it's melody as well as the creator's chosen words in the title... It's about a man suffering from stomach cancer and looking over his life gone by and hoping he might still live on some more... The Country singer's name is Toby Keith and the title of his song is "DON'T LET THE OLD MAN IN" ,. This rendition is an Official Lyric Video Version that really gets you to thinking of the intent of this song... Toby Keith was born July 8, 1961, Clinton, OK and died on February 5, 2024 at age 62 years old, in Oklahoma.
