Born on this day in 1932 was a true honky tonk leg

Born on this day in 1932 was a true honky tonk legend, Faron Young. Born in Shreveport, La, Young was playing small gigs and nursing homes when he was discovered by Webb Pierce. Soon he would be playing larger shows with Webb and eventually made it to the Louisiana Hayride. Shortly he would move to Nashville and hits like "If You Ain't Lovin' (You Ain't Livin')" and "Live Fast, Love Hard, Die Young" followed. Faron was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2000. Pic courtesy @officialcmhof

Here is a great old pic of Mr. Tubb doing one of his favorite things, greeting and signing for fans. Mr. Tubb always made time to sign and chat with fans and was grateful for all of the people that loved his music. You can see his famous bus, The Green Hornet, in this pic and the beautiful storefront.

He would go on to find the Midnite Jamboree in 1947 and carve out one of the most giving careers music has ever seen. Here is to THE Texas Troubadour, Mr. Ernest Tubb.

Sixty-two years ago today, The Big Bopper, Ritchie

Sixty-two years ago today, The Big Bopper, Ritchie Valens, Buddy Holly and pilot Roger Peterson, died in a snowy plane crash near Clear Lake, Iowa. The tragedy became known as 'The Day the Music Died'. Waylon Jennings, who was a member of Buddy Holly's band, gave his seat to The Big Bopper, who was suffering from the flu. Although the three left a lasting impression on music, we will always be left to wondering 'what could have been' had these lives not been lost so soon.

Today in '61 Buck Owens' made his Capitol Records

Today in '61 Buck Owens' made his Capitol Records debut with the release of the self titled 'Buck Owens'. It would mark the beginning of a long and prolific relationship between the two. 'Act Naturally' would come just a couple years later and his place in country music history would be undeniable.

Born on this day in 1937 was legendary pedal steel

Born on this day in 1937 was legendary pedal steel guitar player Buddy Emmons. Here he is as a Texas Troubadour member. Turn on 'Half a Mind (to Leave You)' to get a taste of Big E's work. This was the first song he recorded with Mr. Tubb. He would have a long lasting career and played with some of the all time greats, including, Ray Price, Mel Tillis, Gene Watson, Ray Charles and the list goes on and on. Sadly we lost Buddy in 2015, but what a legacy he left.

The morning of 1/24/2021 , the world lost an incredible man. James White, was a man with a dream and a vision to build, what would be come one of the of the most well known and successful honky tonk and dancehalls in the USA. The @brokenspokeaustintx was opened in 1964 and was a starting point for so many of our Honky Tonk Heroes. Mr Tubb played there several times... James told us (ETRS proprietors @jesseleejones & @emilyann_rww ), that every time E.T. would play The Spoke, he’d always take the time to sit and visit with he and his family. Pictured here are James White and E.T., along with the young @ginnywhitespoke and of course the famous E.T. bus, “The Green Hornet”. Our deepest condolences go out to the James White family and his dear wife Annetta, along with the many many friends and fans of The Broken Spoke. May “the last of the true Texas dancehalls” live on through the years! #restinpeace #honkytonkheaven #jameswhite
