Jones who also performed on Derek Guille's popular nocturnal show on 774-AM

Lives that has now inspired a sit-com on U.S. cable television.
Kacey and Becky also reached way back into their musical history for a
memorable performance on David Heard's eclectic Acid Country show on PBS-FM.
Hobbs, born in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, turned 58 in Tamworth, and impressed
