WALY Radio | Front Page Country News for Friday, August 29

We hope you are enjoying your day, and please enjoy your Labor Day Holiday Weekend!  I'm especially looking forward to tomorrow, when we celebrate International Bacon Day!  Americans consume an average of 18 POUNDS of bacon each year(I do my share, and more!).  Tomorrow is also National Slinky Day...they were great until you left them on the stairs and someone(usually Dad) stepped on it.  In today's edition:  Morgan Wallen's encores at Gillette Stadium cost him $16k...Kip Moore and Nate Smith have NASCAR concerts coming up...Brian Kelly talks about new music, and Ashley McBryde opens up her "Redemption Bar" in Nashville.  Happy Birthday to songwriter extraordinaire Don Schlitz, who is 72...he's had a part in over 40 #1 singles, starting with Kenny Rogers' "The Gambler".
