Most of the world today would probably agree that this year was a year that we all would like to forget. No doubt this was the worst year for most of us and we would not be sorry to say goodbye to 2020. However, there were more fun and uplifting moments in 2020 than we all might think of, especially if you’re one of the loyal fans of country music.
