In 1934, singer/songwriter/actor/dj/personality Johnny Western was born in Two Harbors, Minnesota. His most famous work is his recording of the them song from "Have Gun Will Travel".
In 1936, Charlie Daniels was born in Wilmington, North Carolina. Here at the Ranch House, our favorite of his many great recordings is "Carolina", and we think he would have made a great president in the tradition of Ronald Reagan.
In 1958, Ray Price was in the middle of a thirteen week run at the top of the charts that would keep him there until January, 1959. The hit was his smash, "City Lights", written by Bill Anderson.
In 1978, "Let's Take The Long Way Around The World" became a Number One for Ronnie Milsap, as we watched him perform it at the Pensacola Interstate Fair.
In 1989, Alabama was atop the charts with "High Cotton".
In 1995, there was "Dust On The Bottle", but none on David Lee Murphy, as he scored a Number One with that great hit. It stayed at Number One for two weeks.
