Very cool picture...

In partnership with the USO, a group of Opry stars — Roy Acuff, Minnie Pearl, Red Foley, Little Jimmy Dickens, Rod Brasfield, and Hank Williams — set out on a goodwill tour to perform for U.S. Air Force personnel stationed in England, Germany, and the Azores on this day in 1949.

This tour helped spread the spirit of country music far beyond U.S. borders — a tradition of honoring and entertaining America’s heroes that continues to this day.

November 11, 1978: Waylon Jennings was at #1 on the US country album chart with I've Always Been Crazy. Three singles from the album hit the country charts' top ten: the title reached #1 and "Don't You Think This Outlaw Bit's Done Got Out of Hand" peaked at #5, as did "Girl I Can Tell (You're Trying to Work It Out)". "Don't You Think This Outlaw Bit's Done Got Out of Hand" was Jennings' personal statement on the state of the outlaw movement, written after having been detained by the Drug Enforcement Administration in 1977 for possession of co***ne and conspiracy to distribute. Jennings was never convicted of the crime due to critical faults in the legal process against him.
