Иди Веселей — Go Cheerfully!

I like how happy and encouraging this video and music are.  The smiles seem genuine.  Plus the country flair is a very nice touch!  This video came out in the midst of the COVID-19 shelter in place.  It was so refreshing to see other people interacting and enjoying each other and enjoying life!
