Meade Skelton Is Good Country Music...

I copied this from an article I found on a personal Tumblr blog some years ago. Unfortunately, the blog is no longer running, but I was able to copy and save this. It seems to  be a personal testimonial of some sort. I would love to find out who wrote it, and reach out to them. I venture to guess they are from my area, or Virginia, at least. Perhaps they will see this and let me know. They went by the name "That readjuster spirit".

He bought into the moonlight and magnolias image of Gone with the Wind
