Dell Rat Jerre Slaybaugh Takes the "My Life According To..." Musical Challenge!

Hi, dear friend! I'm sure you

can't blot out of your mind

recall my recent post...the

My Life According To... 

Musical Challenge

in which I told the story

of my so-called life

using the titles of songs

recorded by Ray Charles.

Good news! My old Shady Dell buddy Jerre Slaybaugh was so inspired by the post that he decided to try his hand at it.

To refresh your memory about

how this challenge works, read this:

Jerre answered the list of questions with song titles

from one of his favorite artists and he's curious to

see if you can name the famous recording act by

the time you get to the end of his life story.

Here now is
