CARTER'S CHORD
The singing and songwriting sisters: Becky, Emily and Joanna Robertson, known collectively as Carter's Chord, are the latest act to join the roster of superstar Toby Keith's ShowDog/Nashville label. True daughters of the Outlaw movement, born to Waylon Jenning's "Waylors" band members Barney and Carter Robertson, the sisters have been writing original songs and perfecting their own brand of country-blues infused with killer sibling harmonies since their youth. Their initial CD will be released soon. You can bet you'll be hearing much more from Carter's Chord in the very near future.

(Photos are not from this show) Hank's first appearance on the Opry was June 11, 1949 on Ernest Tubbs 9:30 Warren Paint sponsored portion. Hank had at least six curtain calls on this first appearance and as they say, "He tore the house down." The crowd noise was so loud you could barely hear Hank. Everyone and his brother have claimed to have introduced Hank on his Opry "debut" but it was Ernest Tubb. Hank's second appearance was the following Saturday night on Red Foley's 8:30 Prince Albert sponsored portion. This Prince Albert network carried portion is the recorded AFRS show that is on the 10 CD box set of Hank.
