Episode #4 - I'm a Lover Not a Fighter

Written By Meghan McCoy
Sometimes the best defense is a good dance floor.
Episode 4 celebrates the songs that choose romance over rumbles, steel guitars over bar fights. Western Swing never needed to throw a punch when it could charm the whole room instead.
This week's California Spotlight goes to Peter Petty. He's proof that the Golden State's honky tonk tradition is alive, well, and worth your attention.
We're opening with classics that remind you why love songs outlast everything else. The artists who knew that keeping time on the dance floor beats keeping score any day.
