Classic Country

It's been 20 years since we lost "the best friend a song ever had!" Conway Twitty left this world, way before his time, on June 5, 1993 after a show in Branson, Missouri.

Riders In The Sky are keeping the music of Gene Autry and Roy Rogers alive and well from the stage of the Grand Ole Opry to the Grammy Awards.

Every Sunday Morning we feature Classic Country on 1077/GNA. We recently showcased the greatest hits of a group that's working just as hard today as when they were having their biggest radio hits in the early '80s.

In 1992, George Jones released a sentimental single that didn't get much radio airplay, but through the years the song has become a fan favorite. If you're looking for that perfect song to play for mom on Mother's Day, her birthday or for your mother-son wedding dance, consider 'She Loved A Lot In Her Time.'

A few years ago I took one of the best 'musical' vacations of my life to Branson, Mo.. If you're a fan of Classic Country Music, this is where you'll find your kind of country (and more)!

As many people know, George Jones' final Nashville show was scheduled for November 22, 2013. The possum died knowing that he'd play a sold-out show at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena with a cast of guests that would fill the Encyclopedia of Country Music.

I have seen several posts on Facebook about the potential of a picket at the George Jones Memorial service. The idea that someone even thought of this makes me a little angry and sad.

April 26, 2013 I had the honor of seeing the Alabama reunion concert in Wallingford, CT. with a bus load of 50 country music fans. It had been 10 years since we hosted a bus trip to see the Farewell tour in Hershey, PA., so we were all anxious to see if the band still sounded great.

Over the past few days I've had several listeners ask if George Jones' funeral will be broadcast on television. The answer is yes, and that's great news for all Country Music fans.

Since the passing of Country Music Icon George Jones, several people have asked me about his song 'Whose Gonna Fill Their Shoes.'

After learning the news that we lost Country Music legend George Jones, I dug up one of my favorite conversations with 'The Possum.' In 2005, I had the honor of chatting with George Jones. In this clip, he opens up his heart and tells us how he wants to be remembered.

Country legend Willie Nelson is approaching his 80th Birthday (April 30, 2013). It's no surprise he'll celebrate his big day rolling down the highway to the next show and enjoying the release of a new album Let's Face The Music And Dance.
