The day after the Opry concert, Paris tried to track down a copy of ''Almost Blue'' in Conway Twitty's Twitty Bird Record Store on Music Row. Paris was alarmed to discover that Nashville's largest C&W record shop didn't have the LP in stock.

Hewitt's up and coming faves, TV21). Maddie bassist [[Mark Bedford|Bedders]], most of the UK Wing of the Confederate Air Force, including [[Bobby Irwin]], Brendon, Andrew Lauder, Peter Barnes, [[Nick Lowe|Nick]] and [[Carlene Carter|Carlene]], [[Paul Carrack]], [[Martin Belmont]] and back at last from New York, [[Graham Parker]]. (We were beginning to think he'd gone a bit Jock Ewing and got himself lost in the Interior.) | ||
