Trivia

Country Music Trivia

At the Goldton here in Southaven our residents love country music so we play country music trivia. I love to hear all of them answer the question s at the same time. I have to continue to remind them the person that gets the credit for the right answer must raise their hand. It does not matter how old or up to date the music is they know their country music and artist.
