November 11 in Country Music History

THIS IS VETERAN'S DAY.  SHAKE HANDS WITH, OR HUG, THE VETERANS IN YOUR LIFE, AND THOSE YOU MEET AS YOU GO THROUGH LIFE.

In 1930, gifted guitarist Hank Garland, a member of the A Team, was born in Cowpens, South Carolina.  He recorded the million selling record "Sugar Foot Rag", and was one of the most recorded session players of his time.

In 1938, Narvel Felts was born in Keiser, Arkansas.  He charted over forty country records, and was a regular fixture in the Top Forty in the seventies.

In 1972, Tammy Wynette was atop the charts with "My Man".

In 1989, Kathy Mattea was "Burnin' Old Memories" at the top of the charts.

In 1995, George Strait was again ruling the charts at Number One with "Check Yes Or No".
