Well, here's another C&W lyrics quiz, once again on the easy side, although
a few tough ones are thrown in; I think these are more fun when they're easy.
There's quite a mixture here of old stuff (i.e., 70's-ish) and newer 
stuff, so everyone ought to recognize at least something.

The songs are listed alphabetically by artist. Some songs may be by groups.
One song is a duet, and is included alphabetically according to the name
of one of the singers. Some songs may have also been recorded by other artists,
but I believe I have selected the most well-known version; in any case,
I'm looking for the name of the artist that fits alphabetically.
