Birthdays And Anniversaries For March 3rd + National Anthem Day

If this is your birthday, congratulations!  Here's some events that have happened on this date in country music. 1963-Patsy Cline gives what proves to be her final show, a benefit for the widow of Kansas City deejay "Cactus Jack" Call. Also appearing: Hawkshaw Hawkins, Cowboy Copas, Dottie West, Billy Walker, George Jones and Wilma Lee and Stoney Cooper. 1990-Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash and Kris Kristofferson perform at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo at the Astrodome, kicking off their first concert tour as the Highwaymen. 

It's National Anthem Day!

The Star-Spangled Banner is the national anthem of the United States of America. Written by Francis Scott Key on September 14, 1814, the song officially became our national anthem on March 3, 1931, by proclamation of congress.

A great way to celebrate this day is to proudly fly our flag and listen to and sing the song.

Now Let's P-A-R-T-Y!
