@hopeanne47: Country music icon John Anderson has died at the age of 71. The news was confirmed by his family via social media. Born in Florida, John Anderson fell in love with country music through George Jones and Merle Haggard. He moved to Nashville in the early 70s, and at one point was working construction on the Grand Ole Opry. Hits like “Wild And Blue” and “Swingin” made him a star in the 80s, and songs like “Straight Tequila Night” and “Seminole Wind” kept that popularity rolling into the 90s. He was also one of my favorite artists, and I’m going to miss him a lot. Do you have a favorite John Anderson song?#countrymusic #johnanderson #classiccountry
