LONESTAR GROWING UP IN TEXAS, we listened to all types of music, but it was country music that stirred our souls. When we first picked up instruments and began playing, we wanted to tell stories like Waylon Jennings, have fun like Alabama, and warm hearts like Ronnie Milsap.

Country music tells the stories of real people, and real life. Whether its a love ballad or a honky tonk anthem, its music we all relate to because at some point weve lived a part of it. Country music is about being true and about how people really live their lives. Its songs about those moments that might seem small at the time, but that later turn out to be defining ones in your life. And if youre a musician, and youre lucky, that moment may end up a question in a book like this. Country Music Trivia is a tribute to those who created country music and to those who still keep you singing along.

As you answer the questions and play the CD game, youll remember not only the artist or song, but also the first time you heard Patsy Cline, or that summer vacation driving across the country singing to the radio with your dad, or maybe even the time you had your heart broken by your first love. Country music is how we connect; it opens up doors and helps us celebrate our lives. The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum celebrates country music and brings it to life, and Country Music Trivia makes it fun and entertaining. So enjoy quizzing yourself and your friends... and you better get the Lonestar questions right. TRIVIA
