Howdy doody! It’s just after noon here in the land of the horse race, which is now less than two months away. Gee, where will I go for my Derby getaway? We’ll find out, all of us together! Meanwhile, it’s “Linda? NO!!!!!!!” time as we head back to 1986 with a country song. Love Can’t Ever Get Better Than This - Ricky Skaggs and Sharon White Look at them dancing. Why, you’d think they were married! They are. Ricky Skaggs and Sharon White have been wed for nearly 46 years now. They both have a career: Sharon, as part of the Whites (patriarch Buck White passed away last year ), and Ricky is in both the Country Music and Bluegrass halls of fame. Not every music couple can stay together, especially in country music. George and Tammy? They got D-I-V-O-R-C-Ed. Rosanne Cash and Rodney Crowell split up after that great duet they did together (“It’s Such a Small World”). “Mr. And Mrs. Country Music,” Johnny and Jonie Mosby from the 60s? Splitsville. Well, it is country music, y’know. But Ricky and Sharon are singing of true love here, and they mean it. I’ve met them both, and they’re wonderful individuals. Love and music? None better!
