(2023·青铜峡高三联考)Stuck inside his room at an assisted-living center,Bob
Coleman knew he could not go out in public with the coronavirus spreading.But
he could still connect with others by sharing his love for country music over the
Internet
"Hello,everybody.It's a bright day in Franklin,Tennessee,he said into his
microphone."This is Bob Coleman,better known as the Karaoke Cowboy,coming

expanded,with residents of assisted-living centers in Georgia and Alabama
taking part in the project.Many jumped at the chance to work as a DJ to ease the

A Georgia and Alabama-based marketing company called Luckie came up

Recliner.
New shows appear weekdays at 12 o'clock.Listeners can send song requests
in honor of family or friends.
Mitch Bennett is Luckie's chief creative officer.He says the idea was to

said."Dedicating a song
