  1. "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain" is a song written by songwriter #FredRose.

Most notably, the song was recorded by #WillieNelson as part of his 1975 album #RedHeadedStranger. Both the song and album revived Nelson's success as a singer and recording artist.

  4. Die #Dokumentation über #Countrymusic auf #arte ist großartig. So viele Namen, von denen ich noch nie gehört habe, so viele Geschichten über einfache Menschen in harten Zeiten.
    Und man lernt dazu. Folgender Witz etwa: "Warum haben Baptisten nie Sex im Stehen? Weil die Leute denken könnten, sie tanzen."
    [Tanzen gilt als verboten bei den #Baptisten.]

  5. Morning music from Roy Acuff, 1939. Social Security was only 4 years old at the time. Republicans are still angling to wound or kill it even now, nearly a century later. #SocialSecurity #RoyAcuff #CountryMusic #Republicans #SocialSafetyNet
