In 1981, Guy Willis, member of the Willis Brother's trio also known as the Oklahoma
Wranglers, who were star's of the Grand Ole Opry along with brothers
Skeeter and Vic, passed away. Guy was the emcee and main voice. They have been seen

This Rig Around."

In 1991, Alabama was atop of the charts with "Down Home". They would hold this position for three weeks.
In 1996, Lonestar started a three week run at the top of the charts with "No News". At the time, I thought it was not country enough, now I wish there was at least some good music on the country music channels, if not good COUNTRY music.
