    The date today March 5, 2024.
    It was meant to be this clip popped up.
    It will be 20 years ago in 3 days that my dear cousin Marilyn died. 😪

    Great song. From '70-'72, while in Highschool in Kentucky, I worked on a 350 acre Dairy Farm. We used to hear"Sweet City Woman loud and clear at 5:00 AM while milking our Holstein Cows." There were 3 of us on a milking shift and we would sing along loudly to the song. Great times, hard work, but a lot of fun with music. We used to hear music on a radio station from Fort Wayne, Indiana. The D.J.'s used to say, "music from the little Red Barns of Indiana!"Fond memories! Thank you Stampeders!

    Remember this tune on the radio back in the early 1970s. What a happy tune!! Love it. I’m 59 yo. I was 9 or 10 when I first heard this song.

    One of my favorite tunes growing up in the 70s. You guys still rock it. I think the only song that has macaroons in the lyrics. 🎼🪕🎸🥁
