personal matters that no one really wants to
talk about. But this could be a good time to
create the means to a workable outcome.

YouTube.
2. Barbara Lynn, in 1962. Th e song was covered by Freddy Fender and Aretha Franklin.
3. Four, eventually. It started with husband and wife team Bill Danoff and Taff y Nivert, who
co-wrote “Take Me Home, Country Roads” with John Denver.
4. Bob Seger, in 1973.
5. “I Wonder What She’s Doing Tonight,” written and sung by Tommy Boyce and Bobby

the Tamerlanes, and yet another with the same title by Russell Smith went to No. 37 on the
country charts in 1989.
