If this is your birthday, congratulations! Here's a name in country music that is celebrating along with you. Bass player Dana Williams is born in Dayton, Ohio. He joins Diamond Rio, a band that wins the Country Music Association's Vocal Group award three times. Members of the Grand Ole Opry, the band thrives on tight instrumentation and strong harmonies. Happy 54th, Dana! Also on this date in 1993-CBS Television airs "Willie Nelson The Big Six-0: An All-Star Birthday Celebration," with Ray Charles, B.B. King, Paul Simon, Emmylou Harris, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Travis Tritt, Lyle Lovett, Bob Dylan, Marty Stuart, Waylon Jennings and Kris Kristofferson. What a party!

This Is Buy A Musical Instrument Day!  

Perhaps you are a musician in need of a new instrument, or If you have been considering taking up a musical instrument, today can be your starting point. The good news is you're never too old to begin playing a musical instrument. Many senior citizens pick up musical instruments as a hobby. They even form senior bands, often playing in public. What a great day to get started!
