One of my favorite country singers, Dwight Yoakam, will be inducted into the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame in Lexington on February 21st. Others inducted will be "Don't It Make my Brown Eyes Blue" Crystal Gayle and Norro Wilson who wrote such classics as "The Grand Tour" and "The Most Beautiful Girl."
Yoakam grew up in Pikesville.
He currently lives in Southern California, the end of the famous Route 66, but he considers himself to be a part of the Route 23 gang. He says he was born in the same hospital that Patty Loveless was later born. Other famous country folk who grew up near or on Route 23 are Loretta Lynn, the Judds, Ricky Skaggs, and old "Achy Breaky" himself, Billy Ray Cyrus.
Dwight says, "We've had a pretty good run along Route 23. I'm proud to have it as a birthright."
RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
