"This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it." - Golden opportunity for someone to etch their name into history by becoming a notable country music singer whose name starts with X :P

I wonder if our dear X.Ray Burns recorded any songs that would qualify.

Hello DJ Honky Tonk Radio Girl with Becky, I always though wingtip eyeglasses go well with cowboy boots. Too much? Seriously, my eyesight is going and reading glasses aren't enough now.
Avatar 👻 Swag For Life Member 8:23pm
Handy Haversack:

Yeah, was hoping they'd qualify, ultradamno!

Maybe glasses would have helped Jimmy Wert win at bingo is all I'm saying ...

Unless someone can dig up a Xavier Cugat country album (hey, Ray Charles did one), I've found a candidate, though he's still an up-and-comer: Xavier Joseph www.xavierjoseph.com

Grandpa Jones wore glasses. Were they actually prescription lenses or just part of the costume?

Hmm.. what could be left after Rudy Wesley...?

Ah, but Mariano, I file under last name!

@Ken, I get a radio program on NPR from Arkansas. One of the presenters is Grandpa Jones' son.

Stringbean also wore glasses later on. Hee Haw provides a wealth of information.

Is three hearts a proof designation too?

I'm pretty sure that image is a hate crime to boot, fair warning.

Ozark Highlands is the name of the show @Ken. It's actually good if you like that kinda' screechin' fiddles and nasal whinin'. Seriously, it is entertaining and tolerable.

I just put the question to my friend Darwin Lee Hill and he pointed out that Vernon Dalhart recorded on Grey Gull under the name "Mr. X". I know I have a couple, too!
Avatar 👻 Swag For Life Member 8:39pm
Ken From Hyde Park:

Great, Chooi Goi, I can look into that.
If any hillfolk signed their recording contracts with an "X," that probably doesn't count.

I got 50 cents ridin' that the next song be Bob Wills

How did you manage to get more wear on your Lucinda record than on any of your rare 45s??

We know how much Lucinda likes her Spanish reds.

It was the needle, jeez. Also one of the small hole 45s that can be a little temperamental.

I resisted the urge to post that a few more times in honor of the skip. Proud of myself
