January 5th 1999 Shania Twain's "You're Still The One" receives Grammy nominations for Record and Song of the Year, while Come On Over is up for Album of the Year.

December 30th, 1944 Bob Wills & The Texas Playboys appear on the Grand Ole Opry, causing a stir when Monte Mountjoy's drum set is moved onto the stage at the last minute.

December 15th, 2006 Rascal Flatts became the first country act since 1992 to be the best selling artist in all of music for the year.

October 30, 1982 Hank Williams Jr. set a record with nine albums on the Top Country Albums chart at one time.

Now that sounds like a reasonable request, doesn't it?  Make sure that if your band plays in Texas, they bring along a fiddle!

The song, 'San Antonio Rose' has been covered numerous times by numerous artists.  I was shocked to find out that the top selling version of this song was by Bing Crosby! In 1940, Bing's version sold over a million copies.  It was written and also recorded by Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys, in fact it became their signature song...
