Each Friday morning on WFKY, I deliver the Nashville News Roundup at 9:20 AM.  You can listen online at www.myfroggyville.com, or on the radio dial or Tune-In App.  Here is this week's discussion topics.
 
Chasing Nashville
Lifetime tv channel has introduced a new tv series called "Chasin' Nashville." The unique part is that it follows 4 young girls from Appalachia following their country music dreams.  It debuted this week.  You can check it out on Tuesdays or online at http://www.mylifetime.com/shows/chasing-nashville.

Awesome Possum Fact of the Week
"Howdeee! I'm just so proud to be here!" Sarah Ophelia Colley Cannon was born in Centerville, Tennessee in 1912. Through her persona as Minnie Pearl, she spends 50 years on the Grand Ole Opry and becomes a regular on "Hee Haw," joining the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1975.  If you go to the Country Music Hall of Fame and view her plaque in the rotundra, you will notice something unique.  Even though Sarah passed away in 1996, she wished that no date of death would be placed on Minnie Pearl as her spirit would live on forever.
