Justin and Jason, start this episode off by paying tribute to Stringbean Akemon. They touch a little on who he was and discuss the Annual Stringbean Bluegrass Festival that is held at the Stringbean Memorial Park, in Gray Hawk Kentucky.
Talking about music there is no way Randy Hayes could be left out of the conversation. Randy was not only Keith Whitley's guitar player he was also his friend who was alongside KW for the entirety of his career. Keith Whitley's music still carries a huge impact on country music.
