Information about Kitty Wells 90th birthday celebration

Posted at August 25, 2009 |

The Queen of Country Music, Kitty Wells will be celebrating her 90th birthday this Sunday at the Texas Troubadour Theater in Nashville.

David McCormick, owner of the Ernest Tubb Record Shops, is organizing the two hour tribute to the greatest female vocalist in the history of Country Music. The event will be broadcast over WSM radio and online at www.wsmonline.com from 2:00 PM until 4:00 PM Central time on Sunday and will feature several special guests paying tribute to Kitty. The celebration is an invitation only event.

I feel honored to be asked to say a few words during the event and look forward to helping to honor Kitty. Kitty and her husband Johnny Wright broke ground for our Heart of Texas Country Music Museum in 1999. They have been great supporters for our museum, opry performances and the Heart of Texas Country Music Association.
