We speculators love love songs... And after visiting Nashville, Tenn. late last November, I have been enjoying exploring country music immensely.

At the funeral service of country legend George Jones in May, 2013, Alan Jackson performed Jones's hit single, He Stopped Loving Her Today, which is considered among the best country music songs.

He Stopped Loving Her Today tells the story of a man who held out hope for an ex-love until the day he died.

"This time he's over her for good."

Happy New Year!
