If you got to meet your biggest country idol, who would it be and what would you ask them/tell them:
This is no doubt the hardest question to answer as I have so much respect for so many country stars. If I had to choose though, I would want to ask Dolly Parton how one manages to successfully stay in the public eye for four and a half decades, and still manage to stay true to themselves and their music even under so much media scrutiny and negativity.

Tell us what your favourite country song lyric is and why:
Right now, my favourite country song lyric is pack the good and leave the rest from the song New Strings by Miranda Lambert. I love this lyric because I think it is such a good philosophy for each day. People should always try to hold onto the things that are good in their life and in the world, instead of dwelling on negative events and feelings. If everyone tried to go through life with a more positive outlook I think that the world would be a better place.
