TODAY IN 1959: Johnny Horton had the biggest record of his career. "The Battle Of New Orleans" entered the country music charts April 27th, 1959, made it to number one and stuck there for 10 weeks. It was his 7th charted song and was on the charts for 21 weeks. The Columbia Records single was also at the top of the pop charts for six weeks.

"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."
