Roy Acuff is an American Hero, when my father and 2 friends were stumbling around Nashville during WWII, they bumped into Bashful Brother Oswald and when he found out they were on leave from flying B-17 Bombers with the 8th Army Air Corps, (85% fatality from early morning bombing runs over Germany), he told them to follow him and Roy would want to meet you, they did, and Roy was the Mayor of Nashville in more ways than one, they had a great 48 hours. 70 years later Roy Acuff's nephew did a high risk 6 way open heart surgery on me, that other heart surgeons in Dallas had turned down as too risky. Small world, and the Acuff family walks on water as far as I am concerned!
