Country Music History April 16

Shania Twain is quite a gal, no doubt.  In 1999, she was the first woman named Songwriter/Artist of the Year in the Nashville Songwriter Achievement Awards.  What an honor!

In 2015, Hillary Scott of Lady Antebellum had quite a scare.  Her tour bus caught fire on the way to Dallas.  Hillary and three other passengers all escaped injuries but their stage outfits were destroyed.  Talk about a close, scary call.

My favorite, Alan Jackson,in 2010 received the honor of receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.  His star is located at 6801 Hollywood Boulevard.  I must get out there some day to see it!

And finally, in 1969 Johnny Cash taped the first episode of his ABC-TV series "Hello...I'm Johnny Cash" .  Johnny opened the show singing "Folsom Prison Blues".
