#TwoStepTuesday: Ronnie Milsap
Time again for Two Step Tuesday!
When I was younger, my parents took me to some concerts - but for the life of me, I cannot recall who it was that we saw. The earliest concert I can recall the artist was Ronnie Milsap. I saw him when I was in college.
Years later, a good friend of mine had written a few songs and had been invited to perform them as part of a contest being held in Nashville. Our taxi driver turned out to be someone from Idaho, and as he had taken a liking to my friend, he offered to take us on a sight-seeing tour on his off-time. Part of that tour included something that Ronnie Milsap has never seen - His home in Nashville. (FYI - Ronnie is blind)
Wikipedia tells us this about Ronnie Milsap:
Ronnie Lee Milsap (born January 16, 1943) is an American country music singer and pianist. He was one of country music's most popular and influential performers of the 1970s and 1980s. He became one of the most successful and versatile country "crossover" singers of his time, appealing to both country and pop music markets with hit songs that incorporated pop, R&B, and rock and roll elements. His biggest crossover hits include "It Was Almost Like a Song", "Smoky Mountain Rain", "(There's) No Gettin' Over Me", "I Wouldn't Have Missed It for the World", "Any Day Now", and "Stranger in My House". He is credited with six Grammy Awards and thirty-five No. 1 country hits, third to George Strait and Conway Twitty. He was selected for induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2014
