December 29, 2011 Today on our "Country Classic Double" at 11:30 a.m. , we feature a great number one song on this day back in 1978. It's Kenny Rogers "The Gambler", a song that has stood the test of time, and even inspired a TV movie of the same name, starring Kenny Rogers. And I think it's safe to say, we all know the line "You gotta know when to hold them, know when to fold them" from "The Gambler" (I wish I knew when to hold them and knew when to fold them...just ask my Thursday night poker pals).
December 20, 2011 One of the most successful musical collaborations in country music was the singing and guitar playing of Glen Campell, combined with the songwriting talents of Jimmy Webb.

December 5, 2011 Our "Country Classic Double" today features two number one songs from the 1960s.

Today we'll feature Jimmy singing "Big Bad John", the number one song on this day back in 1961.
November 21, 2011 Today our "Country Classic Double" goes back to the 1960s, and one of the most clever singer-songwriters of the time...Roger Miller. Roger was one of the country artists who crossed over to pop charts, with his fun, clever and memorable songs.
November 18, 2011 Today on our "Country Classic Double", we go back to 1966, and a number one hit for Jack Greene, "There Goes My Everything". I look forward to our double each day at 11:30 a.m., as we get a chance to relive some of those good old songs.
