The List for Friday, July 15th 2022

Welcome To The List,

Being on the road can be fun…SOME days, but others not so much.  Luke Bryan says some days you feel like the kid that’s 21 years old that’s just trying to learn how to play guitar — some days I feel like that guy again. And I feel like I’m 70 some days, and I feel like I’m 18 on other days. Being on the road is a rewarding experience, but it can take a toll on you.” So, keep that in mind, it’s fun but it’s still a job right?
