On this day:

Some good old country music

From the AP:
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Emmylou Harris, Tom T. Hall, the Statler Brothers and the late Ernest "Pop" Stoneman will become the newest members of the Country Music Hall of Fame, officials announced Tuesday.

I had never heard of "Pop" Stoneman, but here he is singing some Gospel: "When the Redeemed are Gathering In"
