I was never a big fan of Dottie’s, but I’ve been listening to country since the mid '60s, so… (If I’d noticed DQ 15, I wouldn’t have asked about Shelly, who of course is best known for her duets with David Frizzell.)

I’m drawing a blank on X’s, and I have a name I’ve been wanting to use for a while, so I’m going to break the sequence.

I am J.
