Country Pop Bites: Clay Walker – April 15

Did you know that on this day in Country Music History in 1996 Clay Walker was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis by a Houston doctor, after seeking an examination for numbness in his fingers?

It's true!  He was told--incorrectly, it turns out--that he will be in a wheelchair within four years, dead within eight.

Glad to see that Clay is still alive and kickin'!
