Maybe Waylon did teach the good ol’ boys a thing or two…
Listening to last.fm today, I pulled up a song from John Pizzarelli. From his bio page:
In addition to being a bandleader, radio personality and solo performer, John has been a special guest on recordings for major pop names such as James Taylor, Natalie Cole, Tom Wopat,…
waitaminnit. Tom Wopat. Tom Wopat?
I grew up on the Dukes of Hazzard, sure, but I wouldn’t have said Tom Wopat was a major pop name. Certainly not up there with James Taylor and Natalie Cole.
According to Wikipedia, he in fact has started a musical career. I wouldn’t say that makes him a “major” name, maybe like a D-list version of Hasslehoff. This surely is one of the four signs of the Apocalypse.
UPDATE: Apparently, he’s not half bad. That’s his voice you hear. Thanks, Ernie!

Oh yeah, he is definitely NOT Hasslehoff. I got to see him and Bernadette do Annie Get Your Gun when I was in New York and it was great.
And on a side note, I guess I am just not a mash up girl because that just feels so wrong to me. Anime singing Annie Get Your Gun!?!

I saw Tom Wopat in the Broadway revival of “Annie Get Your Gun” with Reba MacEntyre a while back, and remember being quite impressed with his singing voice, especially for someone not known as having a history in the musical theater. So I’m sure he’d have a fairly successful recording career. Like you said, if “The Hoff” can do it…

Please tell christine to call me if she needs ANYTHING at all while she is incapacitated when she goes for her “thing”. If YOU and Jason need food, (which I’m not worried about being the foody that you are), you call me. She has my numbers. I love her and I take care of those I claim. It’s the New Orleans and mother hen in me. Double Whammie. Brittany
