Country Pop Bites: Vince Gill – March 31

Did you know that on this day in Country Music History in 2006 Vince Gill along with a few others sang "Will The Circle Be Unbroken" en masse at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.?

It’s true! It was during a three-week run of country shows in the capitol. Also appearing at the concert were, Kris Kristofferson, Lee Ann Womack, The Judds and Ray Price.

Here is one of my favorite Vince Gill songs! Check out the video!
