Country Music History July 13

Wednesday - half way through the work week.  It's all down hill from here!

Barbara Mandrell's talented sister, Louise, was born July 13, 1954 in Corpus Christi, Texas.  Louise had a couple hits in the 1980's including "Save Me".

Songwriter of such hits as "Fast Cars and Freedom", Neil Thrasher, was born in 1965 in Birmingham, Alabama.  He also wrote "How Country Feels", "Fly Over States" and countless other hits.

The Girls Night Out Tour opened in Las Vegas at Mandalay Bay in 2001 headlining Reba McEntire and Martina McBride.  Also performing were Jamie O'Neal, Carolyn Dawn Johnson and Sara Evans.

Why do people think they can paw at performers?  In 2014, a video went viral showing Tim McGraw swatting a female fan during a concert in Atlanta.  The fan was grabbing at McGraw's leg and ripped his jeans before being escorted out of the concert.
