1. Back in 1971, The Beer Bellys were on tour with a fine country singer who had a hit in 1966 with "Just Between You and Me", and in 1969 with "All I Have to Offer You Is Me". But what became his biggest hit and signature tune was 1971's "Kiss an Angel Good Mornin'". Do you know which artist we were touring with? Charley Pride Charlie Rich Johnny Cash Marty Robbins

2. The Beer Bellys once toured with a truly hard-drinking, fighting and loving country star. We felt lucky when he actually performed with us, because his exploits earned him the nickname 'No Show'.

3. While touring with The Beer Bellys I got to meet one of country music's biggest stars. He has had a lot of hit songs, but during our show he sang 1969's "Okie from Muskogee", 1973's "Everybody's Had the Blues" and 1974's "Kentucky Gambler". Do you know what star took those songs to the top of the country charts? George Jones Merle Haggard Jim Reeves Willie Nelson

4. The Beer Bellys toured in 1967 with a female country singer who had a hit in 1949 singing "Jukebox Blues" with Homer and Jethro, but the highlight of the 1967 tour was a surprise.

Do you know who this country lady-star was? Tammy Wynette June Carter Cash Jeanne Pruett Emmylou Harris

5. The Beer Bellys toured with some amazing country singers, but there was one woman who recorded a lot of songs about adultery, drinking, childbirth and other topics that we could relate to.

6. When The Beer Bellys toured with one of the most influential country artists of all time, we felt lucky to hear him sing a couple of his best songs.

7. The Beer Bellys had one television appearance on a country star's own variety show. The star sang his 1961 hit, "Big Bad John", which had us all tapping our toes!

8. The Beer Bellys toured with a lot of different country artists, including a talented man who gave up the rodeo to pursue a music career.

Tanya Tucker Crystal Gayle Dottie West Patsy Cline

10. A music tour can get to be a bit routine, so when The Beer Bellys toured with a country singer who was also an actor, things were a bit more lively.

Tennessee Ernie Ford Jim Reeves Jerry Reed Billy Swan
