The reason, simply, is that we are now getting to songs that everyone should know by heart. I still might include a couple of lines from a song here and there, but don’t expect it for the majority of the songs.

“So please play for me a sad melody/ So sad that it makes everybody cry/ A real hurtin' song about a love that's gone wrong/ 'cause I don't want to cry all alone/ Hey, won’t you play another somebody done somebody wrong song/ And make me feel at home while I miss my baby, while I miss my baby”

A great country song.

338 - “The Last Country Song” by Blake Shelton with John Anderson and George Jones

“Will we play ‘Swingin’ or ‘He Stopped Loving Her Today’/ It's really sad to see it end this way/ This land was our land but Lord now it's their land/ And we're still here, but not for long/ So let's raise a cold one and play all the old ones/ 'Til we've sung the last country song”

Great song… even if it’s not really the last country song.

337 - “Say It Isn't So” by Bon Jovi

336 - “You Need A Man Around Here” by Brad Paisley

“Thumbing through your stack of magazines/ I don't see a Maxim or Field and Stream/ I haven't been in a room this clean/ Since they took my appendix out/ Well you've gotta be kidding me/ Don't tell me that thing is your TV/ My laptop's got a bigger screen/ Baby, there ain't no doubt/ You need a man around here/ You can't do it all by yourself/ To me it's painfully clear/ That you could use a little help/ Someone to kill the spiders/ Change the channel and drink the beer/ Seems to me that you sure need/ A man around here”

Another funny Brad Paisley song.

335 - “Red Dirt Road” by Brooks and Dunn

334 - “Last Name” by Carrie Underwood

“If heaven ain't a lot like Dixie, I don't wanna go,/ If heaven ain't a lot like Dixie, I'd just as soon stay home./ If they don't have a Grand Ole Opry, like they do in Tennessee,/ Just send me to hell or New York City, it would be about the same to me.”

Know Your Medal of Honor Recipients:

Private First Class Daniel D. Bruce (US Marine Corps) received his Medal of Honor for his actions on March 1, 1969 at Fire Support Base Tomahawk, Quang Nam Province, Republic of Vietnam. His citation reads:

For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty while serving as a mortar man with Headquarters and Service Company 3d Battalion, against the enemy. Early in the morning Pfc. Bruce was on watch in his night defensive position at fire support base tomahawk when he heard movements ahead of him. An enemy explosive charge was thrown toward his position and he reacted instantly, catching the device and shouting to alert his companions. Realizing the danger to the adjacent position with its 2 occupants, Pfc. Bruce held the device to his body and attempted to carry it from the vicinity of the entrenched marines. As he moved away, the charge detonated and he absorbed the full force of the explosion. Pfc. Bruce's indomitable courage, inspiring valor and selfless devotion to duty saved the lives of 3 of his fellow marines and upheld the highest traditions of the Marine Corps and the U.S. Naval Service. He gallantly gave his life for his country.
