                  Q  &  A

March 7th, 2012

 

QUESTION:   Our local radio station played a Faron Young record the other day and they talked about some artists' biggest number one records.  What does that mean? How can one number one be bigger than others?

 

ANSWER:     They were probably referring to how many weeks the record was in the number one spot and how many total weeks on the charts. In the case of Faron Young, that would have been his 1958 # one, "Alone With You," which was in the number one slot for 13 weeks and on the charts for a total of 29 weeks

This day in 1963 - Jack Anglin 1916-1963, age 46, of Johnnie & Jack, was killed in a traffic accident while en route to Patsy Cline's memorial service. He was the fourth member of the Grand Ole Opry cast to die in the past 48 hours.

"Q & A" is a by-product of our weekly "Country Music Classics" newsletter. NO - it does NOT replace the weekly newsletter--it is simply an addition--due to the large number of questions received each week that I do not have room for in the weekly newsletter. Subscribers receive BOTH the weekly newsletter and the daily Q & A---because I do not maintain two separate mailing lists.  If you wish to unsubscribe- send a blank email to:

IF YOU DO UNSUBSCRIBE....YOU WILL BE UNSUBSCRIBING FROM BOTH THE WEEKLY "COUNTRY MUSIC CLASSICS" AND THE DAILY "Q & A."
