So it's one of my favorite artist's birthdays today ...
Ms Reba Nell McEntire.
She is an American singer and songwriter primarily in the Country genre as well as a recent branch into Gospel music and she is an accomplished actress and record producer as well.
I must admit that I wasn't in love with her at first ...
But all that red and that voice and those musical numbers just reached out and grabbed me.
Her television program was something I enjoyed as well and likely contributed to that allure which was cultivated in my heart over time.
Anyway, today is her birthday.
She is a scant two weeks younger than I am and I hope she outlives me by a 100 or so years because she has so much to offer the world.
