I love old(ish) time country music (Nostalgia)

I Wouldn't Have Missed It for the World
Musician Ronnie Milsap was born blind and shunned by his mother, who believed his blindness was punishment from God.
He was raised by his grandparents, learned Braille at the age of 6, and lost the last remnant of his sight after a blow from a teacher at school.

I didn't know any of that, but have always loved his music.

His only son was found dead in 2019 and his wife of more than 50 years died in 1921.

A tragic story, but also a testament to survival.

@Mamapolo2016 Yes. There are so many back stories we know little about of the entertainers we love so much.
