Just saw this post on the passing of Bill Cody today. When we used to have some different cable channels I never missed his weekday morning show while having my coffee. Prayers for those he leaves behind. He was a wealth of knowledge about the music business with Thanks for the Music & Memories... Charlene page co-editor

Hello Friends on this Saturday morning! This is Charlene David's co-editor on his page and I'd like to say a BIG CONGRATULATIONS to the Top 12 Traditional Country Songs and Artists for the month of JUNE! If you missed the Kentucky Hayride countdown and the ARIEL FRANZ interview with David the show re airs tomorrow night 9-11PM EST on www.bellbuckleradio.com.
I am so grateful to DJ David for the spins and all DJ's on the charts he consults in preparing his monthly chart for bringing back Thank God And A Farmer. Farming was the way of life for my family thru the years and I'm sure many of yours too. That's my grandmother and uncle Arthur Branham in the photo with the horses on her large farm in southern Ohio back in the 40's. She sold the farm long ago and although I carry on her love of growing food I just have a small lot now with which to plant. I do have cuttings of my grandmothers over 100 year old White Grapevine and Black Raspberry vines making the move with us back to my childhood home in Florence, KY to get my new garden started so we will be regulars supporting our local farmers markets often to enjoy the fruits of their labors as crops come in with our thanks to them for their hard work all year and God our Provider that makes the magic happen from seed to table.

We had several weeks and days of hard rains in May here in northern KY but with the improvement in the weather in our area folks are now able to get their crops fully planted. Wishing Everyone a Nice Weekend & Great growing season wherever you may be! 🎶🍓🥦🌽🥕🫛🥔🎶 😊

Hi Everyone, this is Charlene's Corner & David's co-editor on this page & TODAY is The State of Kentucky's Birthday! Kentucky was founded on June 1, 1792, when it was officially admitted to the Union as the 15th U.S. state and was the first state established west of the Appalachian Mountains. 🎶 "Where The Cardinal nest in a Popular tree, & Bourbon the color or a Chestnut foal, Good for the Heart and soothes the soul, this House that stands in my home land, no where I'd rather be, For No Place Looks As Good As Home To Me 🎶 A few words from a song I wrote about Kentucky as I wish our Home Sweet Home and All who reside here a Good Day to Celebrate the Bluegrass State! Have A Nice Week Y'All... 🎶🥰🎶
