Whisky and Country – The Black Dog Chronicles
Did I ever tell you that we are huge ‘Country Music’ fans? Oh well, my wedding theme was Country too! Yes, that big. Music is something we swear by. And between the father and the son, we probably own music cds of every country concert and singer there is. And so, when you talk about…
