I got to come home in April 1961. I listened to Tommy Cash do the Hillbilly Reveille program on Armed Forces Network, while I was there. It was a music bright spot for us.

s been a fan of the traditional music styles. Not much after the early sixties. Now I have posted daily music messages on the music group, RaB-HoF, for over 2 years. It was started by the Rockabilly Hall of Fame in Burns, Tn. It is fun and I have added youtube videos links along with a lot of other links. I use wikipedia a lot.
I had Guillian-Barre Syndrome and was paralyzed in June and July of 2006. I started my daily music posts again September 1.
I like to go to some of the music shows. Most of the shows with high ticket prices are performers I wouldn't want to see free.
I like to go to Sun Studio some.
I like to go to Bosco's Squared on Madison.
I also go to Memphis Redbirds games, mostly on weekdays.
